Hi Aditya,
Bit hard to say without knowing of what your data is. As an example, you may add helper column to your existing data as 1,3,5,...; add at the end you 17K of rows and give them index 2,4,6... After that sort all data based on this column.

Use the Subtotal option from the Outline group on the Data Ribbon.
Use a column that has unique values.
Then Filter for those rows and Clear contents or edit as necessary

Hello,
I found a way to do it, i selected the rows in which i needed to add the alternate rows pasted it in another sheet, added a column gave numbers to it as 1,2,3 and autofilled it till last copied all the cell numbers in that column and again pasted the same numbers below them in that column. Then went on to sort and filter and selected A to Z filter it added the rows in between.
Then deleted the last column and copy pasted the required rows in the original sheet it worked quite well and was very easy to do.
