Default I need to make cell a1 on sheet 2 ALWAYS = a1 on sheet 1

I need to duplicate the data in sheet 1 on sheet 2, but only certain columns.
I have been able to get the items to duplicate by hitting = (sheet1a2) or
whatever, but if I insert a line above a1 on sheet 1, cell a1 on sheet 2
references cell a2.

One way:

=INDIRECT("Sheet1!A1")

That will *always* refer to Sheet1 A1.

wonderful, is there a way that you can fill-down, so that a2 always = a2 and
so on?
