Default fill series

This works, however, I get a "selection to large" error. So I have to do
this in smaller increments. I appreciate your help.

Say datalist is on Sheet1.

You want first cell of data (A1) copied to, say B1 of new sheet.
Second cell of data (A2) copied to B10 of new sheet (8 empty rows between 1
and 10).

Try this in B1 - (can be entered *anywhere*, not necessarily B1):

=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$1014,ROWS($1:9)/9)

NOW ... select B1 *TO* B9 (with rows 2 to 9 empty).

Click on the fill handle of this *9 row selection*, and drag down as needed.

I have a worksheet tab that has 1014 rows of data numbered 1 - 1014 in
column
A. I need to create another tab (within the workbook) that will take the
numbered row data from column A of the tab with the 1014 rows of data and
inserting 8 rows between each number. What is the best way to accomplish
this.
