Default Excel copy formulas using non contiguous range

I would like to be able to copy formulas using something like "fill by
example".
a very simplified example would be
B2 =A4, B3=A7, B4=A10 etc.
I would like to be able to drag this series down column B.

Hi Paul (and Ardus),
The last suggestion was referring to the cell one down from what was asked, this would work
B2: =OFFSET(A$4,(ROW(B2)-2)*3,0)

BTW, you marked the original post as a suggestion to Microsoft, witnout a suggestion.
and in fact asked a question instead.

Thats where I went wrong.
The original formula was just a very simple example, I wanted to suggest
that the next version of Excel needed the ability to "learn" and replicate
formulas given a couple/series of examples. Ended up posting a question
instead of suggestion.
Apologies and Thanks Paul
