How to paste data to alternating cells down a column?
One extraction technique which should serve you well ..
Assume you have source data in Sheet1, running in A2 down
In another sheet,
In any starting cell, say in B2:
=IF(MOD(ROWS($1:1)-1,2)=1,"",OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2,INT((ROWS($1:1)-1)/2),MOD(ROWS($1:1)-1,2)))
Copy B2 down as far as required to extract Sheet1's source data into
alternate cells all the way down. Freeze the values in col B with an
"in-place" copy n paste special as values. Easily adapt the expression to
suit where your source data starts, ie change the OFFSET's anchor:
Sheet1!$A$2

I am copying data from a column in one sheet where the entries run concurent
down the column. When I paste to the new sheet I need to paste the
information in every other cell down the column. What is the best way to do
this, I have 3600 entries copied in groups of 25 to 72 different sheets, each
sheet holds 50 entries?
