Default Dragging across columns: I want column constant, but row increment

You can enter this in Col A
or any row in Col A
=INDIRECT("I"&(COLUMN()+27))
and drag across

If you start at Col D then use 24 instead of 27... so that column()+24 is 28

Pl. click ''''Yes'''' if this was helpful...

I've searched for an answer to this problem and learned about using the $ to
keep the row or column constant, but it does not seem to work the way I want
it to.

Problem: Formula is =I28
I want to drag this formula to the right (across columns) and have the
column ("I") stay constant, but the row number increment. Ideally, the
formulas from left to right would be =I28, =I29, =I30, etc...

=$I28 results in the same exact formula (=$I28) in every cell
=I$28 results in: =I$28, =J$28, =K$28, etc.

Is there some way to do what I want to do?
