Harald,
Thank You very much for the formula...you are correct not every
8th but nontheless you answered my question. Thanks!!!!


I would like to ask a couple of questions of how the formula works. I
understand the "If" function of the formulas but I am unfamiluar with the
following.

=if(MOD(ROW(),8)<1,"",INDIRECT("A"&(1+INT(ROW()/8))))

MOD-- What is this telling excel to do?

()--What does this tell excel to do?

<--What does this tell excel to do?

Indirect--What does this tell excel to do?

1+INT--What does this tell excel to do?

()/8--What does this tell excel to do?

Thank You,

Judd

HTH. Best wishes Harald

Hello,
I am looking for a formula that will allow me to copy either text
or
numerical data in sequence for every 8th cell. The problem that I have is
that excel uses the relative/absolute reference and copies cells in
sequence.

Example:

A1:A20=1-20 B1=1,B2="",B3=""....B8=2,B9="",B10="",B16=3

A1=1 B1=1
A2=2 B2=""
A3=3... B3="".
A20=20 B8=2
B9=""
B10="".
B16=3


Thank You,

Judd
