A formula cannot delete/add/copy etc; it can only display a result
In the first cell in column next to the one of interest enter =--(mod(row(),10)=1) Copy this down as far as needed This will give you a series of zeros and ones (0, 1) with every tenth row having the 1 value Next we must turn these formulas to values so we can sort: select all the new cells; use Copy and with them still selected use Edit |Paste Special and specify values Sort the two column (the one of interest and the new one) with the new column as the sort key Now all the 1's are at the bottom and can be deleted Then delete the new column best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "wttodd24" wrote in message ...
