Default problem with formulas


hi,

i have problem in dragging the formulas

if i give cell reference in a1

for ex =Sheet2!A1 in cell a1 in sheet 1

i couldnt drag the formula to cell b1. If i drag the formula it is
showing as =Sheet2!B1. instead i need it like =Sheet2!A2

But when i drag horizontally the formula is working but i couldnt copy
and paste as it is not working.

Please help

Try...

A1, copied across:

=INDEX(Sheet2!$A:$A,COLUMNS($A1:A1))

Drag across the columns (the way that works)


then, in A2, enter: =TRANSPOSE(A1:Z1)

copy A2 then, highlight from A2 - A27.

Hit Shift+Ctrl+Enter to enter as an array formula.
