    Question Find and copy values to a new column from a regular interval of cells moving down a column

    I need to copy values to succeeding cells, eg. C1, C2, C3, C4, etc, from a different column from regularly spaced cells, eg. F7, F14, F21, F28, etc. (any interval, say 7).
    So, The financial value of F7 prints in C1; F14 prints in C2, and so on. I'm actually using separate worksheets, also, but I know how to transfer data from one worksheet to another worksheet.

    I want to find some regular formula so that I can enter it in cell C1 and drag it down the column to save time from having to enter the same formula over and over.
    I was hoping for a system that would allow me to enter F7 in C1, then enter "F7+7" in C2 to actually find F14, etc. Obviously, adding to cell addresses does not go to that other cell, just adds 7 to the value of the cell.

    How can I do this?

    hi Jawag, welcome to the forum. not sure if this is what you need, but maybe:
    =INDEX(Sheet2!F:F,ROWS(C$1:C1)*7)

    or maybe even:
    =INDEX(Sheet2!F:F,ROW()*7)

    assuming the column F you require is in Sheet2

    Hi Jawag and welcome to the forum,

    I believe the indirect function will also work. In C1 try =INDIRECT("F"&ROW()*7) and pull it down.
    If you need another sheet to pull data from try =INDIRECT("Sheet2!F"&ROW()*7)
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Re: Find and copy values to a new column from a regular interval of cells moving down a co

    How about a reverse case Marwin and Benish :

    I have data in sheet 1 say nos. 1,2,3...etc

    Now i need to copy these data in Sheet2 at regular intervals(gap of 5), ie, 1 at A1, 2 at A6....

    Please suggest a way to this.
