How to change column instead of row references when dragging a formula down?

Apologies if a similar situation to mine has already been posted. I searched and wasn't able to find anything. I am using Excel 2016.

I have a very long formula (much of which is shown below) and I want to drag this formula down abut 100 rows with each row moving the column reference one to the right.

In other words as I drag the formula down one row I would like all references to column T to change to U and so on.

An offset formula might work, but then I would have to enter it individually for each IF statement correct?

Any easy method to switch all column references would also work, even if it doesn't change automatically as I drag the formula.

I am trying to avoid having to manually change every single column reference in the formula. Thanks!


"&" "&$B$4&" "&"include:"&" "&IF(IF(T$7="", "", T$7)&IF(T$8="", "", ", "&T$8)&IF(T$9="", "", ", "&T$9)&IF(T$10="", "", ", "&T$10)&IF(T$11="", "", ", "&T$11)&IF(T$12="", "", ", "&T$12)&IF(T$13="", "", ", "&T$13)&IF(T$14="", "", ", "&T$14)&IF(T$15="", "", ", "&T$15)&IF(T$16="", "", ", "&T$16)&IF(T$17="", "", ", "&T$17)&IF(T$28="", "", ", "&T$28)&IF(T$29="", "", ", "&T$29)&IF(T$30="", "", ", "&T$30)&IF(T$31="", "", ", "&T$31)&IF(T$32="", "", ", "&T$32)&IF(T$33="", "", ", "&T$33)&IF(T$34="", "", ", "&T$34)&IF(T$35="", "", ", "&T$35)&IF(T$36="", "", ", "&T$36)&IF(T$37="", "", ", "&T$37)&IF(T$38="", "", ", "&T$38)="", "None", IF(T$7="", "", T$7)&IF(T$8="", "", ", "&T$8)&IF(T$9="", "", ", "&T$9)&IF(T$10="", "", ", "&T$10)&IF(T$11="", "", ", "&T$11)&IF(T$12="", "", ", "&T$12)&IF(T$13="", "", ", "&T$13)&IF(T$14="", "", ", "&T$14)&IF(T$15="", "", ", "&T$15)&IF(T$16="", "", ", "&T$16)&IF(T$17="", "", ", "&T$17)&IF(T$28="", "", ", "&T$28)&IF(T$29="", "", ", "&T$29)&IF(T$30="", "", ", "&T$30)&IF(T$31="", "", ", "&T$31)&IF(T$32="", "", ", "&T$32)&IF(T$33="", "", ", "&T$33)&IF(T$34="", "", ", "&T$34)&IF(T$35="", "", ", "&T$35)&IF(T$36="", "", ", "&T$36)&IF(T$37="", "", ", "&T$37)&IF(T$38="", "", ", "&T$38))
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Any easy method to switch all column references would also work, even if it doesn't change automatically as I drag the formula.
You can use Search/Replace
Select the cell Ctrl+H Find T$ Replace U$

@TacticalExcel, on which Row number will your results begin?

Also, you seem to be missing something at the beginning of your lengthy formula, since I see a solitary double-quote with the concatenating ampersand (&) after it to start things off; this doesn't make sense to me.
