Default copying non-sequential cell references

I've always wondered if this is popssible and it would
help greatly. I need to copy the contents of every
thirteenth cell in column A to consecutive cells in
column B, so A13 copies to B1, A26 to B2, and so on. Is
there a quick way to write the formula for the cells in
column B? It will take forever to write the formula for
each B cell (200 of them!) individually.

Many thanks

Gary

Copy this formula in B1 and copy it down

=INDIRECT("A" & ROW()*13)

much.

Hi

=INDIRECT("A" & ROW()*13)


ROW() give you the row number of the cell
The formula in B3 for example will display the value of

"A" & 3*13 = 39
A39
