Default Formula autofill to cells below – formula arguments are cell areas in different columns

Hello,

I have a sheet that contains a sum function in cell B1 and I would like to autofill B2:B6. However, the addends of the sums for each of these cells are in different columns, namely, in cells E2:E4, F2:F4, G2:G4 etc. How do I accomplish this? Using absolute references for rows, columns, or both doesn't work.

This picture should illustrate the problem:

try:
=SUM(OFFSET($E$2,,ROW(B1)-1,3))
