I would like to create a table as such out of it:

+---------+---------------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------+
| Starcom | Marketing and Advertising | Greater Chicago Area       | 5001-10,000 employees |
| R/GA    | Marketing and Advertising | Greater New York City Area | 1001-5000 employees   |
| McCann  | Marketing and Advertising | United States              | 10,001+ employees     |
| DDB     | Marketing and Advertising | Greater New York City Area | 10,001+ employees     |
+---------+---------------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------+

As you can see, I only need the first four rows and then it skips three rows.

So far I have been trying to understand how to do this but can't seem to crack it... been trying to work with OFFSET and INDIRECT functions so far to no avail.

This is a handy thing to know how to do, since some data pastes in this format.

Here is my example spreadsheet URL.

Assuming data is in ColumnA, please try in B2, and copied from there across three further columns to the right and then the set of four down to suit:

=offset(indirect("A"&2+7*(row()-2)),column()-2,)

OFFSET
INDIRECT
ROW

  • Thanks that worked! Modified it to work for each column. :)
