Offset the column number by the number of rows above the firstline of the drag,
ie, using c41+c87+c137+c184 in Row 9 and 'dragging' down would give

=OFFSET($C$41,0,ROW()-9)+OFFSET($C$87,0,ROW()-9)+OFFSET($C$137,0,ROW()-9)+OFFSET($C$184,0,ROW()-9)

and formula drag that downwards.

the drag down is d41+d87+d137+d184. Any thoughts on how i can correct this?
