Drag down formula referencing non-adjacent cells

I have one tab in a spreadsheet summarizing information collected in other groups of cells in another tab in the same spreadsheet. I would like to be able to copy down the formula in one tab to reference non-adjacent cells in the other tab, but I cannot figure out how to make each consecutive line reference the right cells in the other spreadsheet because there are gabs in between.

I need to be able to continue dragging down from O12 with formula ='Time Entry'!T22 so that O13 will ='Time Entry'!T30. Essentially with every line I drag the formula down in column O, it references the 8th next cell down in the Time Entry tab. I started by manually having to adjust the formulas but that's going to take forever when I have 52 rows to do this in.

Did that make sense?

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
How about in O10 dragged down
Excel Formula:
=INDEX('Time Entry'!T:T,ROWS(O$10:O10)*8-2)

Yea I added a chart here showing which cells in the 'Schedule-Summary' tab need to reference which cells in the 'Time Entry' tab.
Is there a way to do it with a formula because sometimes this spreadsheet is utilized in Google Sheets which removes code from the sheet from what I noticed. Or is that not doable in formula due to the referenced cells being non-adjacent?
I will need to be able to this with several different columns referencing difference groups of cells in the other sheet at well.

This worked as expected! Thank you for the assistance!
Now the question I have is how do I transpose that formula to do the same thing in column U? But reference the cells directly below the ones being referenced in T? I tried copy pasting into my next column and just changing the referencing column to U and, adjusted the *8-2 to *9-2. It's not grabbing the right cells. Maybe I transposed that incorrectly?
