Formula help

In A1 use this formula:

=INDIRECT("Sheet2!A"&ROW()-INT(ROW()/2))

Then copy both A1 and A2, then paste down as far as you need.

Thanks a lot Elkar. I have one more question, What if the data in Sheet 2 is in the range B50:B190 and I want a formula on Sheet1 starting at Cell A5 and every other cell below it (i.e. A5, A7, A8...)

Thanks

In that case, you could use:

=INDIRECT("Sheet2!B"&INT(ROW()/2)+48)
