My workbook has 2 worksheets. Worksheet 1 cell A1 contain ABC, cell A2 contain DEF. Now, how can I automatically extract these data to worksheet 2 cell A1 as ABC, cell A2 also ABC, and Cell A3 is DEF, A4 also same DEF
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
We don't need bold text over the whole question. It's like shouting.

Regarding your question.
Is that just for these two cells, A1 and A2? Or do you have a range of cells that needs to be doubled?

And what do you consider "automatically"" Press of a macro Button? When changing a certain cell?

When changing either Cell A1 or Cell A2 in Sheet1 (Automatically)
Code goes in Sheet1 Module
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A2")) Is Nothing Then
        Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:A2").Value = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
        Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A3:A4").Value = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2").Value
    End If
End Sub
Or with a Macro Button or Keyboard Shortcut.
Code goes in a regular Module
Code:
Sub With_Macro_Button()
    Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:A2").Value = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
    Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A3:A4").Value = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2").Value
End Sub

Sorry, I didn't notice I bold it.
I didn't really mean automatically, I just want an Excel formula to do it.
BTW, beside the Macro you suggest, is there a formula to do it.
Thank you very much

If you just want a formula, you will just enter a formula like this in the cell you want in sheet2.

=Sheet1!A1
or:
=Sheet1!A2

And so, on

This is not what I want. What I want is sheet2 A1 and A2 has the same value of sheet1 A1, and sheet2 A3 and A4 has same value as sheet1A2 and so on.

Yes. I just gave you an example.
Just modify to your needs.

If I use your method, I have to enter every cells and it'll be very tedious and a lot of works. What I want is just a formula to insert in the cell and drag it down

This is beyond my knowledgebase.
I will continue to monitor this thread to see what I can learn.
