and we want to copy a1 to f1 and a3 to f2 and
a5 to f3 so f column will look like

...F
1 joe
2 mark

is there a way for this
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
What exactly are you trying to do? Take every other name from column A and put them in consecutive rows in column F?

I'm assuming that column A is larger than just 5 rows of data or else you would just do this manually with the formula in F1 being "=A1" (or whatever cell you want).

HELLO
of course column A is around 9000 rows and i want a formula to copy (for example) cell a1 then cell a3 then cell a5 and so on... to column F but
to f1,f2,f3,f4 and so on

Yeah, it's possible.

Assuming your data is in A1 and you want the other list to start in F1, put this formula in cell F1:

=OFFSET($A$1,((ROW(F1)*2)-2),0)

Copy this formula as far down as you need.

or, in F1 :

=INDIRECT("A"&(ROW()*2)-1)

Copy this formula as far down as you need.
