One way for selecting every other, assuming col. A with
header in A1:

1. Copy this into B2 and fill down:
=ISEVEN(ROW())
2. Select both columns.
3. Go into Data Filter AutoFilter.
4. Select TRUE for col. B.
5. Select the range of visible cells in col A (A2:An).
6. Press F5 Special and click "Visible cells only".
7. Remove the filter via Data Filter AutoFilter
