Helper column with the formula =MOD(ROW(),17), and autofilter by that?

Hi Deborah
If you add another column to your exiting table let's say your data is in A:M, then it is column N. In N1 enter =MOD(ROW(),17) and fill down column N by double clicking the fill handle twice (the fill handle is the small solid black cross that you see when you hover over the bottom right corner of a cell) This will put the sequence of numbers 1 through 16, then 0 for the 17th row continuing on down the column. Apply DataFilterAutofilter and use the dropdown on column N to select 0, and you will have every 17th row. -- Regards Roger Govier "Deborah" wrote in message ...

Thanks so much for taking the time to write out these steps, Roger. I had a
similar question, but hadn't read this post. I received the formula from David, as well, but wasn't sure what a "helper column" was. Before I went back to ask him, I thought I would look at a few more posts to see if it was explained. Your explanation was exactly what I needed, too. Thanks!
