Generating a List
Below is a short representation of part of my spreadsheet. What code would I
need to generate a dropdown list in Row 1 of Col A that only contains the info in rows 8, 18, 28, 38, 48, etc?? Col A Row 7 B0906 Row 8 B0906-1000086 Z1 Row 9 9/5/2006 Row 10 Row 11 8/6/2006 Row 12 Row 13 Row 14 Row 15 Row 16 Row 17 B0906 Row 18 B0906-1000087 Z2 Row 19 9/5/2006 Row 20 Row 21 8/6/2006 Row 22 Row 23 Row 24 Row 25 Row 26 Row 27 B0906 Row 28 B0906-1000088 Z3 Row 29 9/5/2006 Row 30 Row 31 8/6/2006 Row 32 Row 33 Row 34 Row 35 Row 36 Row 37 B0906 Row 38 B0906-1000089 Z3 Row 39 9/5/2006 Row 40 Row 41 8/6/2006 Row 42 Row 43 Row 44 Row 45 Row 46 I really have not tried to write my own in this aspect because I'm afraid that it's over my head. But I have tried to use the create list function. The problem with that is that it lists everything in Col A and there's like hundreds of different items that it shows. I just need every tenth cell of Col A. Anything would be nice, even just a starting point. Thanks in Advance, Rob |

Generating a List
Just about anything I can think of would require you to create the compacted
list in another location, possibly on another sheet. An alternative might be to have a dummy column next to your data with a formula that reflects for each row whether to include it or not. Then apply an autofilter to the data and filter on the dummy column to only show included rows. A lot would depend on what you want to get out of this sublist. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Rob" wrote: Below is a short representation of part of my spreadsheet.
