    Hi there... and welcome to the Excel Forum.

    Try this:

    =OFFSET($A$1,(ROWS($1:1)-1)*5,,,)

    Re: how to paste information on cells that have reference cells skipping 5 rows each

    thank you it worked like a charm, but i still have a small issue about this. is it possible if i add a new row to the reference and the equation wont change? i tried adding one and the numbers changed. can it be fixed?

    Can you attach an Excel sheet showing exactly what you mean?

    The formula is set to copy every 5th row. if you are changing your request to sometimes copy every 5th row and sometimes to copy every 6th row, then I'd need to see what else is on the sheet.

    as you can see sometimes the rows could be 6 in between or 4 or 5 even more so i would be always adding and deleting. also this is only a sample later on itll be more than 200 items. thank u for your time and sorry it has to be so complicated.

    then just adjust the range to go down as far as you need:
    A3=IFERROR(INDEX('Accessories '!B:B,SMALL(INDEX(('Accessories '!$A$6:$A$31<>1)*10^10+ROW('Accessories '!$A$6:$A$31),0),ROWS(A$3:A3))),"")

    In Cell A427 the S/N was started with 5 aind In Cell A432 S/N Started with 9 so on thats why it is not giving the result

    By assuming that every block starts with S/N 1 based on that formula was created so change the S/N number then it will give correct result
