    Need to find every nth value in a part of a column

    Is there a way to retrieve every nth value in a part of a column?

    My data looks like this:

    A____________B_________C________D_______E______F
    ___________week1_____week2____week3___week4_____

    January____13500______15000_____9000
    February_______________8500_____7800
    March__________________________4900____84000__5000
    April____________________________5040____5400___4000
    May
    June


    Now I know the formulas to select the first or the last entry within a column, in my case that would be:

    First: =INDEX(S29:S45,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(S29:S45<>0,0,0),0)) for week 2 gives me 15000 etc.
    Last: =VLOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,S29:S45,1) for week 2 gives me 8500

    What I now need is a formula that retrieves every second (and every third) entry within each column range. For week 3 for instance I need to get the 7800. Then in another step I need the 4900 etc.

    Is there a way Excel retrieves every 2nd (and 3rd) value in a range (e.g. D5:D10)??
