filling datat to another sheet

[static69]

i have a list of peoples names, hundreds long, that need to get inpute
to another sheet in the same workbook, but each name has a differen
spot to go to. They are seperated by about 15 lines each, with dat
between? How to do this without cut and paste

Static,

How you do this depends on whether you're trying to add the list to an
already filled column that has a blank spot every 15 rows, or to a
completely blank column.

For the completely blank column:

Suppose your list starts in A1 of Sheet2. In A1 of Sheet1, use the formula

=INDIRECT("Sheet2!A" & INT((ROW()-1)/15)+1)

Select cells A1:A15, copy, then select A16 toAXXX, where XXX is 15 times the
count of the names in your long list, and paste.

If you are adding this to a filled column with blanks every 15 rows, select
the used portion of the entire column, use Edit | Goto.. Special, Blanks;
then type in the above formula, and press Ctrl-Enter.

HTH,
