Thumbs up Answer: selecting every other data point in a column

To select every other data point in a column, you can follow these steps:
  1. In a new column, enter the formula "=MOD(row_number,2)" in the first cell. This will return a 0 or 1 for each row, indicating whether it is an even or odd row.
  2. Copy the formula down the entire column.
  3. Select the entire column, including the header.
  4. Go to the "Data" tab in the ribbon and click on "Filter".
  5. Click on the drop-down arrow in the header of the new column and uncheck the box next to "0".
  6. Click "OK" and you will now have a filtered list of every other data point in the original column.

I hope that helps!
