Default How do I select every 70th cell and put a symbol in it?

Hi cb,

Put 1 in G70
Then Highlight G1 to G70
Grab the fill handle and drag down to the end of your data,
hold down Ctrl before you let go of the fill handle

Then select all of your data and go to DataFilterAutofilter
On the G dropdown select 1

HTH

empty cells for the 70th selections. column G. What I have is a
selection
of transactions that I want to select every 70th one. I have a population
of
685 transactions. The cell with the transaction will not be replaced.

What is currently in each 70th cell?

Which column?

If using Excel 2007, which row?

Would any data be replaced or would the symbol be appended to existing
data?

Would the appending be ahead of existing data or following?

What type of symbol?

A macro could do it easily but to tailor it to your needs, please provide
some
more detail.
