Do you mean something like =Sheet1!A1 becoming =Sheet2!A1, =Sheet3!A1, etc
Try =INDIRECT("Sheet"&COLUMN(A1)&"!$A$1")
The Column(A1) when dragged to the right will give the required 1,2,3....
best wishes

I would like to drag a formula across a spreadsheet but would like the cell
numbers to stay the same but the worksheet to change.
