Another good reason not to merge cells! <g

Try this entered in A1 of your cover sheet:

=INDEX(Sheet2!A:A,ROWS(A$1:A2)/2)

A1:A2 = Sheet2!A1
A3:A4 = Sheet2!A2
A5:A6 = Sheet2!A3
A7:A8 = Sheet2!A4
etc
etc

Hi All,

I have a sheet with raw data(single cells) and a cover sheet linked to
the
data by formulas. My cover sheet has merged cells and when I try to
insert
a
formula into one of the merged cells(linking back to the single cells)
and
then drag down to copy the formula I find the formula skips a row.

For example, merged cells A1 and A2(cover sheet) will pick up single
cell
A1(raw data) but when I drag the formula down to merged cells A3 and A4
it
will pick up the data in single cell A3 instead of A2.
