I need to find a quicker way to delete excess data


Posted by Brent on July 09, 2001 11:47 AM

I have some data from an experiment in .05 second incriments. However, I only need .5 second incriments and i need a way to delete all the excess information in between each .5 second incriment, which includes a row of information for each .05 second. I have tried filters but can't seem to get them to work. Please help immediately. Thank you.

Brent, how about using the following formula to filter your data (assumes your time values are in cell A2):
=IF(INT(A2/0.5)=A2/0.5,A2,0)

Copy this formula down to the bottom of your data and then filter on values not equal to zero.

Hope this helps you out.
