    =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$17,ROW()*5-1,0)

    my sheet ranges from A17 thru I17 down to A3156 thru I3156.

    I think you need to explain what you're trying to do a little more clearly.

    G'day and welcome to the forum,

    Yes I'm not clear on how does 8302 becomes 8310.

    There is one way, but it may not suit your goal.

    Test this on a blank spreadsheet
    Type in two separate cells

    8300
    8305

    then highlight the two cells

    then copy drag down

    If this is what you want, apply it to your workbook.

    Hope this helps

    Better explaination How do I display every 5th row?

    I imported a data base into an excel file. The data base is incremental by 1. The person requesting this data would like it to be incremental by 5. Is there a formula that I can use to accomplish this? This is what I have so far.
    =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$17,ROW()*5-1,0) But its fairly incomplete.

    Example: The way it is
    A17 THRU I17
    8300 data data data
    8301
    8302
    8303
    8304
    8305 Thru 11,000 OR A3156 THRU I3156

    Example: The way I need it
    8300 data data data
    8305
    8310

    Please help.

    well shg suggestion works for your example

    = 5* A17 - 33200 works as long as the data starts at 8300

    in your example

    Thanks that works to get my A column to display every 5th cell but my data ranges from A-I, and I need to display every 5th row, so how would I expand on this? =Sheet1!$A$15+(ROW(A1)-1)*5

    Well I thought I had it, but I was wrong. I thought I could take this formula =Sheet1!$A$15+(ROW(A1)-1)*5 and substitute the A with B and then with C and so on, but it didn't work that way, I still need to convert the entire Range of data from A-I to display every 5th row.
