    Drag Sequence having sheet reference

    Hi there I would like to achieve the following however I am encountering some setbacks!

    I would like this formula to increase down the column as follows:
    =Temp_Data!A1
    =Temp_Data!A5
    =Temp_Data!A9

    Sequence is addidng 4 each time... Dragging results with:

    =Temp_Data!A1
    =Temp_Data!A5
    =Temp_Data!A9
    =Temp_Data!A4
    =Temp_Data!A8
    =Temp_Data!A12

    I have seen the following work for others:
    =INDEX(A:A, (ROW()*2)-1)

    Can this be used to solve my issue?

    Can a macro be created to store the number as a variable and loop a certain amount of times adding four to that variable every time?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    a1

    =INDIRECT("Temp_Data!"&"A"&1+(Row()-1)*4)

    and drag down
    Notice my main language is not English.
