=IFERROR(IF(MOD(ROW($B4)-COLUMN(C$3),C$2)=0,"Book",""),"")

Let's break it down step by step.

=IFERROR(IF(MOD(ROW($B4)-COLUMN(C$3),C$2)=0,"Booked",""),"")

1) ROW($B4)
ROW() function returns the row number of the cell.
$B4 refers to a specific cell in the worksheet, where the $ before the column reference "B" means that the column reference is absolute (it won't change when the formula is copied to other cells), but the row reference "4" is relative (it will adjust when the formula is copied to different rows).
2) MOD(ROW($B4) - COLUMN(C$3), C$2)
COLUMN(C$3) returns the column number of cell C3. The $ sign makes the column reference absolute.
MOD() calculates the remainder when ROW($B4) - COLUMN(C$3) is divided by C$2. The result is a numeric value.
3) IF(MOD(ROW($B4) - COLUMN(C$3), C$2) = 0, "Booked", "")
This is an IF function that checks if the result of the MOD() function is equal to 0. If the result is 0, it returns the text "Booked". If the result is not 0, it returns an empty string (""), effectively leaving the cell empty.
4) IFERROR(..., "")
This is an IFERROR function that wraps the IF statement. It checks if there is an error in the IF statement's result. If there is an error (e.g., due to division by zero or other issues), it returns an empty string ("") as the default value.

So, in summary, this formula will display "Booked" in a cell if the row number minus the column number of C3 is evenly divisible by the value in cell C2. If not, it will display an empty string in the cell. The IFERROR function is used to handle potential errors gracefully by returning an empty string if there's an issue with the formula.
