1:1 refers to the first row and returns 1, *7-6 means multiply 1 (what rows
return) by 7 then subtract 6
that part will return 1,8,15 and so on

Thanks for the help. I would apperciate it if you would explain the
folllowing:
I assume ($1:1) refers to A1
what does the " *7-6" do
thanks

In Sheet6,

Place this in any starting cell, say, in B2:
=INDEX(Sheet2!A:A,ROWS($1:1)*7-6)
Copy B2 down as far as required.

B2 returns the same as: =Sheet2!A1
B3 returns the same as: =Sheet2!A8
and so on
