Bob, thanks for replying. This formula gave me a blank cell but wen I went
to drag next to it, the info in column "C" came up when i'm looking for info
in column "B"
my spreadsheet looks like this:
(Column) A B C D E
RED BLUE GREEN YELLOW ORANGE
I want it to look like this: RED BLUE GREEN YELLOW ORANGE
i'm currently getting: RED GREEN ORANGE
Am I using your formula incorrectly?

If you're also starting in column A, then this formula will work:
=IF(MOD(COLUMN(),2)=0,"",INDEX(1:1,(COLUMN()+1)/2))

I am trying to drag information across a row but skip a column inbetween.
for example my data is in columns A1,B1,C1,D1, E1 and i want to be able to
put my cursor on a random cell in row 1 and have it bring back cell A1,
then
a blank cell, then cell B1, then another blank cell, then C1 and a blank,
and
so on. Everytime I do it, I get A1, then blank then C1, then blank, then
E1...and i cant figure it out!!
