n this article, we will learn how to retrieve every nth value in a range. We will use Index function with Row function.

Why and how we use Index and row function?

We use Index function to return value from the intersection between the row number and the column number in an Array. This function will pick the number and give use as output.

Row function is used to return the row number of a cell reference. So in this situation row function will help to pick every nth value from range.

Let’s take an example and understand how we use Index and row function?

Note: – If you want to return every 3rd value, then you just need to change in formula 3 at the place of 9, and formula will pick every 3rd value from the range.

This is the way we can use Excel formulas Index and row to get the Nth, 3rd, 4thetc. value from the range.
