I don't need the rows numbered. What I have is a list of 1500 name and
address labels. The "names" are in cells A1, A9, A17, A25 and so on, all are
8 rows apart. The "addresses" are in cells A2, A10, A18, A26, all 8 rows
apart. the city, state and zips are in cells A3, A11, A19, A27 and so on all
8 rows apart also. I need the names in one column, addresses in the next
column and the city state and zip in the next. I have done this before but I
can't remember how.

You can add an auxilary column and sort like this

1) Put in a new column in the 1st 8 rows the number 1 to 8. Then copy the
numbers 1 to 8 down the entire new column.
2) Sort on the new column.
3) All The data you are looking for is now on adjacent rows.

How can I select the data in non adjacent rows of a column (eg. A1, A9. A17.
A25.......A800, A 808, A816 etc.) and place it into another column? The data
I need to select is consistently 8 rows apart in a very large spreadsheet. I
am using Excel 2003.
