    or

    in C1

    the a15 can be changed to whatever your last cell is. then drag right.

    this would be better as it doesn't use indirect (which is volatile)

    Re: Fix Column, Change Number

    this returns the number of the column in the brackets (a=1 b=2 c=3) etc. so when you drag it this is used to index the next row in your original list
