    Moving formula across columns, but referencing down row

    Is there a formula to allow for dragging a function across columns but refencing down a row?
    Example in row 1, C1 referenced to A4, dragging the formula right so it references in D1 to A5
    Here is what I've got, and I'd like to drag across from C1 to Z1, with Z1 looking for data in A26

    Try something like this...

    =INDEX($A4:$A26,COLUMNS($C1:C1))

    Ahh, thanks for that. Now I realise, I've got merged cells across row 1. So C1 actually covers C1, D1 and E1, is there also a way to deal with this? CDE1 refers to A4, FGH refers to A5.

    Try this...

    =INDEX($A4:$A26,CEILING(COLUMNS($C1:C1)/3,1))
