You mean A1 should become A5, b1 should be B5, ...

If yes, then you could try this:
Select the range to fix
edit|Replace
what: 1: (1 followed by a colon)
with: 5: (5 followed by a colon)
replace all

Essentially, you're looking for a unique string that occurs in each formula. In
this case "1:" fit that need.

I have 20 Columns with the simple formula =SUM (A1:A12), =SUM (B1:B12) etc.

I want to change the A1 in each cell to (A5:A12). Can the A1 be changed to
A5 in multiple cells without having to change each one individually. Many
thanks for any assitance.
