    Drag Formula that Skips 1 Column

    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I have been searching for hours to no avail---

    I am trying to sum B11 and B12 of sheet1 on cell B18 of sheet2. Then in cell C18 of sheet2 I want it to sum D11 and D12 of sheet1. Then in cell D18 of sheet2 I want it to sum F11 and F12 of sheet1. Basically skipping a column in each cell. How can this be done?

    Thanks in advance!

    That does not work. That will not skip a column. C18 would then reference Sheet!C11:C12 instead of Sheet!D11:D12

    =SUM(OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$11,0,(COLUMN(B18)-COLUMN($B18))*2,2,1))
