I want to copy the below formula across columns with it only increasing the column by 1. However I will be skipping 3 columns each time. So when I copy its changing to column (H) and I need it to only increase to (E)
=INDEX(test!D$1:D$12, MATCH($A$1,test!$A$1:$A$12,0))

=INDEX(test!H$1:H$12, MATCH($A$1,test!$A$1:$A$12,0))


How can I copy this without having to manually change the columns?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
The way I do this is I create an "offset value" by using a spare row ( I used row 2 in my example). I have got 0 in D2 and in H2 I have got :
=D2+1
the the formula in d3 is
=INDEX(OFFSET(test!$D$1,0,D2,12,1), MATCH($A$1,test!$A$1:$A$12,0))
