Weird or custom auto fill series problem?

[Event2020]

I have been racking my brain on this for weeks and got precisely no where so I wonder if any of you guys may be able to suggest something.

I have a complected spreadsheet using multiple pages with various formulas pulling all the data together.

I have simplified my problem here but on one page I need a group of cells to auto fill the series vertically but as a block.

It would almost be like copying a group of cells stacked on top of each other and then each time you pasted them the cell reference inside auto updates by one, so =A1 would become =A2 and so on.

I am going to try and insert a table here which should show things better than I am explaining..

'=A1
'=B1
'=C1
'=D1
'=A2
'=B2
'=C2
'=D2
'=A3
'=B3
'=C3
'=D3

<tbody>
</tbody>

So hopefully you see what I mean and I need to repeat this 200 times so a formula or some other trick I am missing would be great as it will take far too long to do this by hand?

Thanks everyone

Try this formula:
=INDEX(A:D,-INT(-ROWS($A$1:A1)/4),MOD(ROWS($A$1:A1)-1,4)+1)

Copy down.

Brilliant, it did just what I wanted and I would never have been able to work that out on my own.

Thanks, much appreciated.
