Example ( Choosing every 4th set of data pairs)
when like this in a spreadsheet
96 121



96.5 110




97 109



to look like this
96 121
96.5 110
97 109

Hi,

I'm not clear whether these data pairs are in the same cell so we'll start
with this

=INDEX($A$1:$A$1000,ROWS($A$1:$A1)*4)

The above formula extracts the data from row 4 of column A drag down 1 row
for row 8 etc.

something like
Sub copyevery4th()
For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row Step 4
dlr = Cells(Rows.Count, "b").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Cells(i, "a").Copy Cells(dlr, "b")
Next i
End Sub
