Pulling down cells with formula

I need to reference the values of A1, B1, C1, etc. of Sheet1 in A1, A2, A3, etc. of Sheet2.

So in A1 of Sheet2, the formula is

=$Sheet1.A1

columns1

Problem: When I pull down to fill column A of Sheet2, the formulas are

=$Sheet1.A2
=$Sheet1.A3
=$Sheet1.A4

columns2

rather than

=$Sheet1.A1
=$Sheet1.B1
=$Sheet1.C1
=$Sheet1.D1

How can I pull down A1 of Sheet2 to automatically get the needed formulas?

Thank you, =TRANSPOSE() does the trick!

Where exactly can I find the [x]matrix-option?

Sorry my Fault, its the [x]array-option in the lower|left corner of

Thank you!

Filling down the relative row parts of references get adapted the way it’s mostly needed.
If you want to change the column parts in a specific way, you need to use one of the functions returning references or the INDEX() function (name misleading).
Depending on specifics of your task it may also be a use-case for the TRANSPOSE() function.
