Default how to insert a collum on a sheet without it changing cell ref

INDIRECT will allow you to always point to the fixed range impervious to
future col insertions/deletions:
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'Numbers'!A3:AE3"),1)
The range string: 'Numbers'!A3:AE3 within INDIRECT is just a text string, so
you don't need to use any $ signs. Any worth? hit the YES below.

I would like to insert the collumn at the first collumn, the data I insert
has a date then other numbers below that, I need to grab the date for 1
calculation then the numbers for others. I would have a simular problem with
the date if it is not in A1
