decimate rows in Excel 2007
I have a large spreadsheet, about 23000 rows. I want to reduce this to about
700 rows by decimating the sheet and keeping, say, every 40th row. How can I do this? Look forward to hearing from you. |

decimate rows in Excel 2007
I find it MUCH easier to make a column with row numbers of the rows I want to keep and use the "indirect" function.
For example if the data I want to resample or decimate is in column A, put the following in column B to keep every 20th data point: 20 40 60 80 100 .... Then use the indirect function in the next column, Column C in this case: =indirect(concatenate("A",B1)) copy and paste to the end of the list in column B. Column C then contains every nth (20th in example) data point. On Monday, July 28, 2008 11:40 AM Alistai wrote: I have a large spreadsheet, about 23000 rows.
