I have a list of names in Column A and the names appear every 4 lines down.
A2, A6, A10... In column E I just want the names to appear and this has 6,000
lines on the spreadsheet. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to get this to
work out.

Thanks

In E1 enter:

=INDIRECT("A" &4* ROW()-2) and copy down

Hi,

Put this in E1 and drag down as far as required

=INDIRECT("A"&2+(ROW(A1)-1)*4)

Sub getevery4throw()
mc = 1 ' col A
r = 2
For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, mc).End(xlUp).Row Step 4
Cells(r, mc + 4) = Cells(i, mc)
r = r + 1
Next i
End Sub
