My approach would be as follows....

Assumption, the result table will 4 columns, no more, no less....

In B1 type "=A1", in B2 type "=A5" without the quote marks.
Select B1:B2, and drag across to column E (to copy the formula)
Then select rows 1:2, and drag down as far as you need to fill the rows.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the prompy reply.
But the solution that you provided does not seem to solve the problem :
(
After I select B1:B2,and drag across to column E..the column name even
changes,i.e A1 changes to B1,C1...which i dont want.
even tried with "=$A1" to keep the column name constant..But even
thats not helping!

Thanks,
Roy

This seems ok ..
In B1: =OFFSET($A$1,ROWS($1:1)*4+COLUMNS($A:A)-5,)
Copy B1 across to E1, fill down as far as required

Well, though the OFFSET function is working fine,I am not being able
to use ROWS and COLUMNS,as they are not supported by Xcelssius.
How can i modify the function B1:=OFFSET($A$1,ROWS($1:1)*4+COLUMNS
($A:A)-5,) without using ROWS and COLUMNS,but with the same
functionality??

Can't think of any. Perhaps a workaround could be to generate the numerical
results returned by the ROWS and COLUMNS bit in Excel, then copy/paste
special as values (static) for use as helpers into Xcelsius.

In Excel, you could put in any cell: =ROWS($1:1)*4+COLUMNS($A:A)-5
Copy that across by 4 cols, fill down as far as required.
Then copy that 4 col range n paste special as values into H1:K1 down
in the Xcelsius sheet.

Then you could place in B1: =OFFSET($A$1,H1,)
and copy across to E1, fill down to get the same end results.
