Default Some questions on copy/paste in excel 97

Thank you Marcus and Max, your information was exactly what I needed to keep
me from having to manually edit almost 300 cells of formulas.

One way

Taking your example process ..

Put in the starting cell, say A1: =INDIRECT("C"&ROW(A1)*2-1)
Copy A1 down

This would return the same as:

In A1: =C1
In A2: =C3
In A3: =C5
etc
