Data row wise, formula column wise

I have data in cells b2:aj2

I want to refer to these cells in a column from a2 down. I can manually type in:

A2: =B2
A3: =C2
A4: =D2

Rather than doing so, is there a formula I can type in once in A2 then copy
down?

If you just need the data in column A........

Select B2:AJ2 and copy.

Select A2 and Paste Special>Transpose>OK>Esc

Since you DID ask for a formula to copy down, here's one to try:

=INDEX($B$2:$AJ$2,ROWS($2:2))

Thanks Ragdyer. It was the formula I needed, as I want the destination changed
whenever I update the source.
