Default Summing Non Contiguous Cells in a Row or Column


I need to total a large number of cells in a column that are not contiguous, ie, not next to each other. For example I want the total of every 4th cell in a column without having to manually entering a formula containing the exact cell references...that would be way to tedious and time consuming.

Hi Joe Ottenhof

Two methods assuming data is in A1:A1000:

1/ =SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(ROW(A1:A1000),4)=0),A1:A1000)

2/ =SUM((MOD(ROW(A1:A1000),4)=0)*(A1:A1000))
This is an array formula: CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER

You can change what rows to sum, by changing the MOD part ie: =0 to = 1 or 2 etc

Thanks very much. The second way works perfectly. The first one gives me an error. I paid a guy $38 and he didn't get the answer...so once again thanks,
