how do I copy specific rows without copying each row individually

[Chris H]

I am using Excel 2007. I am trying to copy every 5th row of information and
there is no specific criteria met in each row. Can anyone help?

for i=1 to 25 step 5
rows(i).copy somewhere
next i

Hi,

Assume that your data is in range F8:F18 (including the header row). In
F25, enter =MOD((ROW(F9)-ROW($F$8)),5)=0. In F24, enter condition. Now go
to Data > Filter > Advanced Filter and in the Action section, select Coy to
another location. In the list box, select F8:F18. In the criteria box,
enter F24:F25 and in the copy to box, select any blank cell. This will copy
every 5th row to a new location.

Hope this helps.

One other thought ..
Assume your source data in cols A & B
Assume you want to list A1:B1, followed by A6:B6, then A11:B11, and so on

Place in say, E1: =OFFSET(A$1,ROWS($1:1)*5-5,)
Copy E1 to F1, fill down as far as required

Easily adapt the formula to suit:
A$1 = A1 is the offset anchor (ie the top left cell in your source range)
5 = the required interval (every 5th row)

Success? hit the YES below
