Default How do I keep letters the same and change the # for drag formula

I want to have the columns do the following
A1 b1
A2 b2
A3 b3

When I drag/drop they go
A1 A2
B1 b2
C1 c2
What formula can I use to reorientate my data?

If it's to be done somewhere else on the same sheet as the source range, one
way is just to place in any starting cell:
=OFFSET($A$1,COLUMN(A1)-1,ROW(A1)-1)
then copy across and fill down as far as required
This will achieve a dynamic transpose of the source range

=OFFSET($A$1,COLUMN(A1)-1,ROW(A1)-1)

The "$A$1" would be the OFFSET's reference point, ie the top left cell in
the source range. Easily adapt this to suit - just point to the particular
source range's top left cell (if it's other than A1).
