Default VLookup Column Reference - can it increment when copying to subseq

I have a need to do a VLOOKUP in twenty columns on the destination sheet. I
want to pull 20 columns of data in exactly the same order onto the
destination sheet from the original sheet. I know the range can be made
relative or absolute, but I'd like the column index number to increment when
I copy my formula into the next cell to the right. Does anyone know how to
do this quickly and easily instead of going in and manually changing the
column index number in each formula across the sheet. Example
VLOOKUP($A2,Sheet2!$A$1:$Z$26,2,FALSE) in the first cell then
($A2,Sheet2!$A$1:$Z$26,3,FALSE) in the next cell to the right. Note the
column index number changed from 2 to 3.
