Not sure how to get the right syntax here to represent a variable number of sheets.
Code:
Sub TryThis1()
    Range("G2").Formula = "=AVERAGE('1:4'!E2)"
End Sub

The 4 in the formula is the variable part. Whatever number is in Sheets("CtrlPnl").Range("H12") is the total number of sheets. In this example I've just shown 4, but it could be up to 20 or more.
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Maybe:
Code:
Sub TryThis1()
Dim NumShts As Long
NumShts = Sheets("CtrlPnl").Range("H12")
Range("G2").Formula = "=AVERAGE('1:" & NumShts & "'!E2)"
End Sub
