I have data that is sorted in columns, but the data I want to graph is a
cross section of this data and therefore it comes from one row across several
columns. I'm trying sort my graph/equation data in a column, however. Is
there a way to get the equation cell references to move across a row even
while the cell is descending a column?

You can do it on a range using the TRANSPOSE function (array entered), or
you may want to take a look at the OFFSET function, which takes a row and
column argument. Use the ROW() function to generate the column argument and
you will be able to copy the formula down a column and have the references
go across a row, eg:-

Assuming your data was in E4:L4 and you wanted your formula to start in say
A6 and then copy downwards.

In A6 use =OFFSET($E$4,0,ROW()-6) and copy down. Note the ROW()-6 bit.
When you are in row 6 the ROW() bit gives you 6, whilst the -6 bit turns it
into 6-6=0. Therefore the first column offset argument is 0. When you move
to row 7 the ROW() bit gives you 7, whilst the -6 bit turns it into 7-6=1,
so the column argument is 1 etc
