I have =A1 on one cell and then a bunch of text on three cells beneath it and then =A2 on the fourth cell beneath it, how to make sure that when I drag down, it goes to A3 after leaving three cells and so forth?

To achieve the following:
- D1 refers to A1
- D4 refers to A2
- D7 refers to A3
and so on, use a formula such as =offset(A$1, row(D1)/3, 0) in cell D1. This offsets the reference to A1 by the row number divided by 3 (the result is rounded down automatically). When copied down the column, it will offset the cell positions correctly.
