Default Need to select non-adjacent cells with regular interval

If source data is in A1 down,
to extract every 4th cell in that column

Put this in any starting cell desired, say in E2:
=INDEX(A:A,ROWS($1:1)*4-3)
Copy down as far as required

To extract every 5th cell in that column, use:
=INDEX(A:A,ROWS($1:1)*5-4)

And so on. Adapt to suit.
