    drag sum formula down a column but change the formula

    Hello. Can I drag this formula down a column but have it change references for each row down?

    =SUM(D7:M7) then
    =SUM(E8:N7) etc

    Yours populate D7:M7 ; E7:N7 ; F7:O7
    while OP requests D7:M7 ; E7:N8 ; F9:O9
    It should be:

    =OFFSET($D$7:$M$7,0,ROWS($1:1)-1,ROWS($1:1),10)

    Re: drag sum formula down a column but change the formula

    Sorry everyone I meant to request E7:N7, it's just a shifting set of 10 cells going down a row, staggering to the right.

    @ Mehmetek. You're formula returned a # ref error.

    @NewDoverman. This is what I was looking for. Thanks.

    @newdoverman. Why do you do *1+0. Isn't that unnecessary?

    Re: drag sum formula down a column but change the formula

    The *1+0 is necessary. It is being used as a counter. The *1 is the incremental value and the +0 is the starting number.
    Try this in a column (just to see how this works)
    Enter this in B2 and fill down

    The result should be a column of values starting with 5 and increasing by 2 every row.
