Alternatives to INDIRECT Function

[FalconFlyer]

I am trying to find an alternative to INDIRECT. I started modifying a spreadsheet using INDIRECT, but I am worried about the future implications considering INDIRECT is a volatile function. The spreadsheet is not huge, but it is on going. There is a new tab for every month, going back to 2002. I was interested in making the spreadsheet easier to setup every year. Using this method, there would be 28 INDIRECT formulas on each tab going forward. Each tab is labeled by month, for example, Jan2017, etc.

Is there a better way to write this formula instead of using INDIRECT?

=INDIRECT(((TEXT($E$25,"MMM"))&((TEXT($E$25,"YYYY")-4))) & "!$N$44")

Thank you for your help.

I think your other option would be to create the formulas via VBA
