Drag and Drop won't let me go up in tens?!

[Guest]

In order to work out exactly where I'm going wrong, I'm going to explain
exactly what I'm doing so somebody might be able to help me! Sorry if it
seems boring, but I need to work this out to help my 3rd year university
project!

I have data in sheet 4 and in every tenth row, I have data that I want to
put into sheet 5. In Sheet 5 A5 (the first cell I want to write anything in),
I have written =Sheet4!40 . The row below that, I have then written
=Sheet4!50 . I want the formula to then go up in tens, as in =Sheet4!70 ,
=Sheet4!80 but instead it always puts the wrong thing in. I have written the
correct formula up to A13 so that I have ten bits of correct data, but this
hasn't helped.

Please help! I need to work this out ASAP!

Thank you.

Georgy,

In A5 on sheet 5, use

=INDIRECT("Sheet4!A"&ROW(A4)*10)

and copy down

On row 5 the formula

=INDIRECT("Sheet1!B"&((ROW()-4)*10))

will access cell B10 from Sheet1, and each 10th row as you drag down.
