Cell referencing

[Yuelin]

Hi

I have values in a column of cells, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8 and so on.

Then I only want to pick up the value in A2, A4, A6, A8...., and put them
into column B, i.e. B1, B2, B3, B4....

How to do this

Thanks

Yuelin

In cell B1 copy the formula and copy that down... this will pick only the
values in A2,A4 ... Once done. copy ColB. Right Click. Paste Special and OK
there itself.

=IF(MOD(ROW(),2)=0,A1,"")

Hi Thanks for the reply. It doesn't work properly.


How about in column C, I put in sequential number 1, 2, 3, 4, ....

Then in column B i use the values in C, by:

putting in a function, =$B&($C1*2)

I have this idea, and not sure the format etc. Please can you advise?

Thanks

Oops...i didnt notice that you need this values in b1,b2,b3 . Try the below

=INDEX(A:A,ROW()*2)

Hi,

You can also try this

Suppose the numbers are in range A2:A9. In cell A1, type Numbers. In cell
A12, use the following formula =MOD(ROW(A2:A9),2)=1. Now go to Data >
Filter > Advanced Filter and select "Copy to another location". In the list
range, refer to range A1:A9. In the criteria rang, refer to range A11A12
and in the copy to box , select D19. Now click on OK.

Please note that this is not a dynamic solution I.e.if any values change in
range A2:A9, the result in D19 will not change - you will have to rerun
the advanced filter.
