The only way I know to get the results you want is to drag horizontally.
Then 'Cut' and 'Paste' in Column you tried to drag down.

I am having a problem dragging down a formula. Its easier for me to give an
example rather than describe the problem. Example: The formula im trying to
drag down is: c41+c87+c137+c184. If i drag this down i will get
c42+c88+c138+c185 in the next row but the formula i result i would like for
the drag down is d41+d87+d137+d184. Any thoughts on how i can correct this?
