    Copying every nth Column from the same row

    Please excuse my noobness as I try to explain what I'm trying to do on Excel.
    I have these charts below, which isn't probably the best way to record this data, but that's how it's been done, and it won't be changing.
    My project is to chart this data and then graph it. Below is an example of how the data looks

    The information being charted is the DATE/AVG%/AVG Weight (The information highlighted in Blue/Yellow/Green respectively)

    I would like to chart the information like this below (This chart will be located on the same sheet at A35):

    AvgWht%chart.JPG

    What I'm trying to figure out is using a formula to fill in the Date/Avg %/Avg Weight
    The data is located in every 3rd column of the same row...

    Date = Row 4 (A4,D4,G4, etc)
    Avg % = Row 17 (B17,E17,H17,etc)
    Avg Weight = Row 32 (B32,E32,H32,etc)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's a link to the sample spreadsheet

    It is FAR easier to standardize your data even if you continue to record it in this format, you can always just create a "standardizedDATA" tab then have super simple formulas from the standard data.
    People dont realize how simple things can be when they clean and standardize their data into one tidy dataset where each data dimension has its own column and each measure has its own column.

    With all that being said you can use a simple index(match()) formula to get what you want.

    Copy and paste formula in B36 then drag to the right:

    Try this for the AVG...

    Assuming you enter the first formula in cell B36:

    =INDEX($B17:$Z17,COLUMNS($B36:B36)*3-2)

    Copy across as needed. Adjust the end of range Z17 to suit.

    Use the same syntax for the AVG Weight but adjust for the proper range.
