trying to split data from 1 row into two separate rows, then copy and paste
the function(s) without skipping rows. i don't know how to word it better,
but here is my problem:

a b c d e f g h i j k
1 xyz 200 5.8 xyz 200 5.2 xyz 200 5.8
2 abc 400 10.6 abc 400 10.1 xyz 200 5.2
3 lmn 300 4.5 lmn 300 4.8 abc 400 10.6
4 qrs 500 8.7 qrs 500 9.5 abc 400 10.1
....

i want to copy data from row "1" from columns "a:c" into row "1" columns
"i:k" and then copy data from row "1" from columns "e:g" into row "2" columns
"i:k"...

finally, i would like to copy and paste the "i:k" columns downwards.

when i tried to do this with copy and paste, it would skip the data from
every other row.

sorry, i can't be more clear. hope someone can help. thanks in advance.

Take a look at Text to columns... under the Data menu.

Hi

Enter the following formula in I1
=OFFSET($A$1,((ROW()-ROW($A$1))/2),COLUMN()-9)
Copy across through J1:K1

Enter in I2
=OFFSET($E$1,((ROW()-ROW($E$2))/2),COLUMN()-9)
copy across through J2:K2

Mark the block of cells I1:K2 and use the fill handle at the bottom right of
K2 to drag the formulae down the columns until you see Zeros appearing.

This has already been answered, but I'll throw my solution out there just for
the heck of it:
=OFFSET(A$1,INT(MOD(ROW()-ROW($A$1),8)/2),MOD(ROW()+1,2)*3)
Note: The 8 was used because there was 4 rows of test data. It would
obviously need to be increased proportionately for more data.
Also, whether or not you add 1 would depend on what row you started on. I
wanted to alternate between 0 and 3 and I started on row 1.
