Try this .......

Sub copyover()
Dim a As Long, i As Long

For a = 2 To 18
i = (a - 1) * 2
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B" & a).Value =
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B" & i).Value
Next a

End Sub

hi
here is what's troubles me. the code below doesn't work but it helps you
understand. i want that cell in (sheet2,B2) have a value of cell in
(sheet1,B2), cell in (sheet2,B3) have a value of cell in (sheet1,B4) ... and
so. the pattern is: columns are same but rows in sheet2 are continues, and
in sheet2 goes by even numbers - 2,4,6,8...
For a = 2 To 18 // a
=number of row in sheet2
i = (a - 1) * 2 // i
=even number sequence[i]
Range("B" & a).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=sheet1!RC" // here is question:
how to reference a variable index "i"
Next a

tnx in advance
