relative cell increments

[bentura]

I am trying to get a series of data points into one column, but each point that i want next to each other is 10 cells away from the previous. These ten cells are also full of data, thath i want to keep and arrange in a similar way. The crux of the problem seems to be that i can't change the increment for relative addresses from 1 to 10 i've tried formulae like A(1+10)but its not working.

Hi Ben,
Since nobody answered I try my input on this:
If your data is in column A and the relevant points are in cells A1,A11,A21,A31...etc, then
1. Put "a1" in cell B1 and "a11" in cell B2.
2. Select B1:B2 and drag down to get in B3 "a21", in B4 "a31" and so on to the last desired cell.
3. Now put in cell C1 the formula = INDIRECT(B1) and copy it down. You'll get your points in column C continuously.
Regards,
Eli
