Default moving sum

Hi,
I have a list of monthly payments, and I want to create a column that sums
those at the end of each year, six months or a quarter .
EX:
1 0
1 0
2 4
4 0
1 0
1 6
....
What formula should I use in the second column to have a sum at every
12th,6th or 3rd row?
Thanks. Neda

Assume your data begins in A1. In B3 use:

=SUM(A1:A3)

Select B1:B3, grab the fill handle, and fill down. This
will sum every 3 rows. For every six rows, in B6 use:

=SUM(A1:A6)

Select B1:B6 and fill down. Same process for every 12
rows.

Thanks Jason, but the idea is to have one formula to paste and copy from
begunning to end, since mu columns are couple of thousand rows long., and if
I go and repaste it every six or so rows it takes forever.
