It is definitely possible to use some VBA macro to achieve this, but if you need only this I guess the fastest way will be manual work instead of looking for code and make .xlsb<br />
Just press F5 in your Input sheet and type A1:B500 to select first 500 rows and copy-paste it into Output sheet.

I need to select 500 rows to cover the range. For example if I have 1000 rows then I should read the first row and skip the second and read the third and skip the fourth. So at the end I will be able to get 500 rows starting from the first row to the last row.<br />

Dear All,<br />

I need to select only 500 rows covering any range of the input sheet &nbsp;(sampling) as attached here. The rows should be selected equally to cover the data range.<br />
<br />
I need the first row and the last row and the rows between should be equally selected and moved the output sheet.<br />
