Default change a group of cells to absolute

I am trying to fill down a colum with this formla =COUNTIF('Group
1'!C9:C2168,"B") the next line should read =COUNTIF('Group 1'!D9:D2168,"B")
.. But it dosen't. it reads =COUNTIF('Group 1'!C10:C2169,"B") if I type in a
pattern it will copy that pattern over and over again. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Try it this way

=COUNTIF(OFFSET('Group 1'!C$9:C2168,,ROWS($1:1)-1),"B")
