I have tried to create another column by starting the pattern b1, b11, b21,
b31 and tried to continue the pattern by using the fill handle and using fill
series, but both of these restart the pattern using a different cell. I don't
know what else I can try.

One possible way


=INDEX(B:B,ROWS($A$1:A1)*10-9)

will return what's in B1, B11, B21 and so on when you copy it down

suzie

=OFFSET($A$1,10*ROW()-10,0)

Entered in B1 and dragged down column B will give you contents of A1, A11, A21
etc.

Hi Suzie,

Another way is to put numbers 1 to 10 (i.e. 1 in A1, 2 in A2 etc.) in a
blank column then copy them down to the end of your data and then
use autofilter to select every tenth row.
