How to drag a cell reference formula down a column, but move the cell reference across a row

I am trying to drag a cell reference formula down a column, but have the row value increase as the formula is dragged down.

 

For instance, in the shot below, cell B3 has the formula "=I3". I would like to be able to drag the formula down column B so that B4's value would be "=J3", the value in B5 would be "=K9" etc..

 

Link to page with sample spreadsheet

 

Thanks,

Chris

    To make it dynamic, you might use:

     

    =LET(rng,I3:ZZ3,nonblanks,COUNT(rng),dynamic,TAKE(rng,,nonblanks),TRANSPOSE(dynamic))

     

     

    If it's a one-off, you could simply try:

     

    =TRANSPOSE(I3:K3)

     

    Fill handle not needed.
