    Excel 2003 How do I select every 6th cell in a column so that those cells appear blank?

    I have two columns first column is month ranging from 2012-01 to YTD and the second column is values. I believe that adding the correct amounts of notes for June through access is turning up as an error because I have some values in celss for June, thus I want to make every value corresponding to 2012-06 blank. I attached an example so it is easy to see and yes the dates have to be repeated like that because I have names attached to those dates. Thank you for any help in advance!

    Doing this will make your YTD values wrong, but anyway:

    1) Put this formula in C2, the copy C2 down the whole dataset:

    =IF(OR(B2="", A2="2012-06"), "", B2)

    2) Now copy the cells C2:C1905

    3) Click on B2 and do an Edit > Paste Special > Values

    4) Clear column C
