Default Copy the formula by dragging but down but calculate by going left

If I enter the formula:
=$C$1-E75 and copy down by dragging the column will remain E and the rows will change to 76,77,78 etc.

I need the opposite so when I drag down the row remains 75 but the column changes to F, G, H ...


try:
=$C$1-INDEX($E$75:$XFD$75,,ROW(A1))

AMAZING,
It works, can you explain how the actual formula works.
Thanks much my friend.
