Formula from consecutive rows to alternate rows?

[Neville Bailey]

I have a worksheet with data in consecutive rows.

I have another worksheet into which I want to insert a formula on every
second row, but referring to each consecutive row in the first worksheet.

For example, on Worksheet 1, in column A:

Row 1: 123
Row 2: 456
Row 3: 789
etc

On Worksheet 2 I want to show:

Row 1: ='Worksheet 1'!A1
Row 2:
Row 3: ='Worksheet 2'!A2
Row 4:
Row 5: ='Worksheet 3'!A3

How do I copy the above formula down?

=IF(MOD(ROW(),2)=1,INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,CEILING(ROW()/2,1)),"")
