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?

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
The way I do this is I create an "offset value" by using a spare row ( I used row 2 in my example). I have got 0 in D2 and in H2 I have got :
=D2+1
the the formula in d3 is
=INDEX(OFFSET(test!$D$1,0,D2,12,1), MATCH($A$1,test!$A$1:$A$12,0))
