Hi Ben That has worked a treat, I can't thank you enough as I've been trying to find a solution to this for ages.

Hi

I have a need to take a list of items, and delete the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th,7th,8th rows etc. for a VERY large file.

FYI it's to strip down a 50m height grid file to a 200m grid file.

Can anyone assist? I have tried a macro, but it just deletes everything.

Any help appreciated.

That was quick, Ben, fantastic!

Thanks,
