How can I make this formula simpler:

=SUM('DAY1'!P39,'DAY2'!P39,'DAY3'!P39,'DAY4'!P39,'DAY5'!P39,'DAY6'!P39,'DAY7'!P39,'DAY8'!P39,'DAY9'!P39,'DAY10'!P39,'DAY11'!P39,'DAY12'!P39,'DAY13'!P39,'DAY14'!P39,'DAY15'!P39,'DAY16'!P39,'DAY17'!P39,'DAY18'!P39,'DAY19'!P39,'DAY20'!P39,'DAY21'!P39,'DAY22'!P39,'DAY23'!P39,'DAY24'!P39,'DAY25'!P39,'DAY26'!P39,'DAY27'!P39,'DAY28'!P39,'DAY29'!P39,'DAY30'!P39,'DAY31'!P39)

I am trying to get data from multiple sheets onto one page to track deals throughout the month and I'm having to copy, paste and edit the formula. In excel, this formula would be =SUM('DAY1:DAY31'!P39)

Is there a way to make this easier?

Step1 Create a new sheet called AllDays in cell B1 put

=Arrayformula(if(A:A,,"'Day"&row(A:A)&"'!P39"))

Step2 In cell C1 put

=iferror(indirect(B:B),"")

Step3 Manually drag cell C1 to the bottom of the spreadsheet

Now you can simply sum this AllDays column C to get the total. Should be pretty simple to use the other columns to grab other specific cells.
