Even rows: =SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(ROW(B1:B30),2)=0),B1:B30)
Odd rows; =SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(ROW(B1:B30),2)=1),B1:B30)

Yes, but if you had the sum of even rows in, say, X99, then it'd be more
efficient to calculate the sum of odd rows using

=SUM(B1:B30)-X99

True, but he asked for summing alternate rows without saying whether he
wanted odd or even, so I gave him both. He did not say he wanted two sums,.

how may I devise a formula for adding only alternate cells in columns?

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(ROW(A3:A8)-ROW($A$3)+0,2)=0),A3:A8)

Replace the +0 bit with +1 if summing must start with the first 2nd value.

Note that 2 (the Nth row parameter) can be any admissible value, odd or
even.

I'll bet that's a great solution but it's like a PHD coaching a
kindergardener. Many thanks anyway. KRM
