I have a workbook with several tabs. the first tab is a data input sheet: subtotals from this sheet get posted to cells on the other sheets. at the top of the Data sheet is a drop down validation list that the user will select the next month from. On each of the other sheets, is a grid with calendar months down the left hand side and years across the top:
