    Dragging formula to skip column from 2 sheets

    Hey guys, bit of a problem right here.

    I need to drag my formula and want it to skip the column like I tell it to.
    So My formula is as follows: =(MEAN('ask yield green'!B:B))-(MEAN('ask yield conv'!B:B)) With 'ask yield green' and 'ask yield conv' being the names of my 2 sheets. then my second formula is =(MEAN('ask yield green'!D:D))-(MEAN('ask yield conv'!D:D)). Basically it takes the mean of 2 columns and subtracts them. I will manually type this formula several times referencing B,D,F,H,... etc but when I drag them it starts following a weird pattern. For example when I drag B&D the pattern will be: B,D,D,F,F,....
    For clarity I only need to skip the column where i'm grabbing the data, I don't need to skip columns in the third sheet where i'm doing all the calculations.

    Hope somebody can help.

    If the first formula is in B3. C3 Shold be blank.
    Select B3:C3. Hold the fill handle and drag across.
    Pl note
    Array formula should be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys together.
    If answere is satisfactory press * to add reputation.
