Default Basic Question on autocomplete function

Hi
As an alternative to Dave's suggestion, especially if there are going to
be a lot of formulae on the sheet, you could use the non-volatile Index
function.
Enter in E9
=INDEX(Sheet2!$1:$65536,COLUMN()-3,ROW()-6)
Copy across and down as required

Hi everyone, my first time on the forum and my first thread. I apologize
if this is already located on the forum here. I tried searching, but
came up with many unrelated threads so I thought I'd give this a shot.

I am trying to auto complete a link to another worksheet by corner
dragging a formula over a ROW in one worksheet FROM data in the COLUMN
of another worksheet. In other words:

Worksheet 1: E9, F9, G9, should point to (respectively),
Worksheet 2: C2, C3, C4

The auto complete formula function does not recognize what I'm trying
to do. And I have to do this with tens of thousands of cells. It would
boil down to only a hundred rows or so if I could automate this.

Thanks for any help!
