Default Extending formulas with gaps in reference

but when pasted into excel the information is only in every third row.

Wouldn't one answer be to delete the empty rows between the rows of data?
You can do that by selecting the first column of data/empty rows and do an
{F5}, Special, Blanks. OK. This selects just the empty cells. Then use
Edit, Delete, Entire Rows.
