I am pulling data for certain cells on another sheet. It is every 7 cell
that I need from one column of about 1000 rows. When I work on a
referencing the cells I am unable to properly autofill.

For example
I enter =i5 in a cell and =i12 below that that cell and then autofill
then next cell and get =i7, instead of =i19

How can I set this up to count by sevens so when when I fill I am able
to reference i5, i12, i19, ect without typing everything in by hand?

Thank you.

One way of doing it would be to set up a helper column and use the
OFFSET function.

Try this on a blank sheet as an example:

For the helper column in this case column A enter 5, =A1+7, =A2+7, =
A3+7... so the column will display 5, 12,19, 26 etc.

In my example, I used column B as a numerical column 1,2,3,4,...to
prove a point; the aim being to pick off every 7th id which we will
come to next using the OFFSET function.

In cell C1 enter "=OFFSET(A1,A1+1,1)" and then fill this down - and you
have just picked up every 7th reference. All you need to do now is
modify the formula to work across sheets and you're there.

Enjoy

Hi,

you can try a formula like this

On the fist line
=INDIRECT(address(row();9;;;"Plan1"))

For the next lines add 6 rows
=INDIRECT(address(row()+6;9;;;"Plan1"))

Assuming that "plan1" is the name of the spreadsheet and the is collum "I"
(the 9th)

hope it help and thanks for the feedback
regards from Brazil

try this mark first cell u want formula in
Sub Lasey()
Dim i
For i = 5 To 1000 Step 7
If Range("A" & i) < "" Then ' Change A to urs kolumn
ActiveCell.Formula = "=A" & i ' Change A to urs kolumn
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
End If
Next
End Sub

Sub Lasey2()
Dim i
For i = 5 To 1000 Step 7
If Range("Sheet1!A" & i) < "" Then
ActiveCell.Formula = "=Sheet1!A" & i
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
End If
Next
End Sub
