Default Increase Cell reference by 1 for every step

To create linked cells you could:
1. Enter the first two cell references preceded by "=:
"=A2
"=A4
2, Select these two and drag down to fill the range .
3. Select the column and choose DataText to ColumnsFinish

hi all

I have a series of numbers in column A2-A4240 and I need every second cell to appear in another table
but I need it linked so that when the originals update so does the other table, however I haven't found
a way to get every 2nd cell referenced, I put A2 and then A4 in the new table and copy it down but it
jumps to A2 A4 A4 A6 A6

Is there any other way as I don't want to manually type them all in.
