    Thanks GeoffW283, that worked perfectly

    Just thinking of other ways to use this down the line

    If I wanted to put the data in alternate rows C, E & G how would I change the formula

    Thx

    The following formula copied to the appropriate columns will do it for your specific example of alternate columns:

    I don't have a generalized algorithm. For me at least it's just a case of playing with row(), rows(), column() and columns() and possibly int() and mod() until you get the index into col-A that you want. I find it easier to temporarily remove the index() part of the formula while doing this.

    Hope that helps!
