Hi

The shot below is from a home made dictionary in MS365 Excel. Fundamentally, this sheet is to show every 'x'th row, starting from row 'y' - intended to generate a random (ish) selection of Welsh for revision purposes.

When the formula gets to a row in the 'raw data' that is blank - currently c. 5.6k 'real value' rows, it returns zeroes as below; which is fine, but ... how would I/do I modify the formula to return null/blanks instead of zeroes - trying to avoid printing sheet after sheet of zeroes!

Obviously, if I do a print preview before printing, and only print pages with 'interesting' values, that's fine - but if I forget ...

Column H here in the formula contains (essentially) the sum of D1 (start from this row) and B1 (the increment); an extra (in this case) 100 on each row; H3 = 5000, H4 = 5100, H5 = 5200, and so on.

Thanks.

Jim

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
As you have 365 why not use the filter function.
Clear out all your formulae & put this in A3 only
Excel Formula:
=LET(d,'Raw Data'!A1:D10000,s,SEQUENCE(ROWS(d)),FILTER(d,(INDEX(d,,1)<>"")*(s>=D1)*(MOD(s-D1,B1)=0)))

Hi Fluff

Brilliant, Thanks. I put it in as above, but nothing happened; I changedA1:D10000 to A1:C10000 (the three columns that have data in them) and it leapt into life!

Thanks again.

Jim
