Default formula copy or alternative solutions

Dear All,

I have a formula that i have to copy to 146 columns.

=IF(VLOOKUP($B4,Perm,1)=0,"",VLOOKUP($B4,Perm,1))

is there a way to automate the 1 in the formula to 2 when i copy to column
to 2 .

The purpose of the formula is to look for B4 value in the sheet called
permission list and return the value associated with it which is X if false
and blank if true. Any and all help will be appreciated if the process is
automated somehow and i dont have to manually change the number.

Thanks in advance.

One thing i thought will be helpful is if i explain more and someone can find
an easier solution to this. the purpose as i explained earliers to look for
value A4(JOHN) in sheet 2 column A and return any values in rows (X or
anything) from the where the A4 (John) value was found.

Thanks again
