    Formula to return every nth cell in a column

    I want to return every other cell in a column, and return the remaining cells(also every other) in an adjacent column. I cannot have empty cells in between numbers due to the functions I am using.

    For example,
    A formula to take:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6

    and return:
    1 2
    3 4
    5 6

    Don't know if this is possible but would appreciate any thoughts(can't use sort because the data refreshes to every other line from an outside source)

    Hi emg48 and welcome to the forum,

    See the attached for your answer. The hint is using Indirect and a Row() number to return the correct value from column A.
