How can I get Exel to display every (eg) 35th row only?

Brownie,

Insert a new column A. The put the number 35 into cell A1, then in A2, use the formula

=MOD(ROW()-2,$A$1)

and copy down to the bottom of your used range.

Then filter on column A, to show values of 0.

Change the value in cell A1 to show different row counts (i.e., 10 to show every tenth row).

Great, Bernie, that worked fine, thanks very much.

Can I please extend this line of enquiry? I might be going about it the
wrong way.

I've got a huge spreadsheet (a dump of a web page with booking forms data on
it) and I just want to pick out the 'organisation' field, to make sure I
haven't omitted anyone's booking. The 'organisation' field is in cell B2,
then every 33 rows further down, ie B35, B68 etc. Using your solution below,
(thanks!) I can now SEE just the organisations, but if I then want to use
just those cells in another spreadsheet, what's the best way to
select/identify them (eg so I can cut and paste them or sort them
alphabetically in another spreadsheet)?

Simply select the entire range and press Ctrl-C to copy them. When you paste them elsewhere, Excel
will remove the rows that were hidden by the filter, and you will get your compacted list.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I should have tried that first - I know 'hide' doesn't
work like that, that gives you the whole range including the hidden rows, so
I thought the effect would be the same when they'd been filtered. That's a
further useful thing I've learned today. Many thanks, again.

brownie

Just for info...........

When rows are hidden, you can select a range including hidden rows and
F5>Special>Visible cells only>OK

Copy those and the hidden rows won't copy.
