Default question about SUM - how to sum each for elements

You're welcome!

As far as where to look for help on formulas...

It's hard to be very specific since just about every formula is unique for
its application.

Here are a couple of websites that have a lot of info on various
functions/formulas:

Assume you want the results to appear starting in cell B1.

Enter this formula in B1 and copy down as needed:

=SUM(OFFSET(A$1,(ROWS(B$1:B1)-1)*4,,4))

B1 will be the sum of A1:A4
B2 will be the sum of A5:A8
B3 will be the sum of A9:A12
B4 will be the sum of A13:A16
etc
etc

Hi


I have a problem with function SUM.


I have column A with numbers, and column B where I want to sum
elements from column A by four numbers together. So I put into B:
SUM(A1:A4)
SUM(A5:A8)
SUM(A9:A12)
SUM(A13:A16)
etc...


Is there any chance, to do it automaticly? I tried with everything
what I know. If I simply mark this, and pull down, Excel make it:
SUM(A1:A4)
SUM(A2:A5)
SUM(A3:A6)
SUM(A4:A7)
etc...


I was tring with different adressation $ or without $. But I couldn't
get that result.


I will be happy for any suggestions.
