I have an Amortization table in a sheet that has 360 rows and one of the columns shows the interest payment each month. In a separate sheet I have 30 rows which represent 30 years.

I have the following formula in one cell to sum the first 12 months of interest: =sum(Amortization!D6:D17) as expected when I drag this formula down the formula changes as expected to

=sum(Amortization!D6:D17)
=sum(Amortization!D7:D18)
=sum(Amortization!D8:D19)
=sum(Amortization!D9:D20)
, etc.
When I drag the formula instead of incrementing by one I'd like the formula to increment by 12 so it captures the next 12 months. As an example, it would look like this:
=sum(Amortization!D6:D17)
=sum(Amortization!D18:D29)
=sum(Amortization!D30:D41)
=sum(Amortization!D42:D53)
, etc.
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Try:
Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((ROW($D$1:$D$1000)>=(ROWS($6:6)-1)*12+6)*(ROW($D$1:$D$1000)<=(ROWS($6:6)-1)*12+17)*Amortization!$D$1:$D$1000)

You can try:

Excel Formula:
SUM(OFFSET(AMORTIZATION!$D$6,12*(ROW(A1)-1,0,12,1))

SUM(OFFSET(AMORTIZATION!$D$6,12*(ROW(A1)-1,0,12,1))

I gave this formula a try but received a parsing error. If you look at the Yearly Tab (cell K12) of the sheet linked above you see it returns an error.

I see your Spreadsheet in Spanish, use the translation:

Excel Formula:
SUMA(DESREF(AMORTIZATION!$D$6;12*(FILA(A1)-1;0;12;1))

Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((ROW($D$1:$D$1000)>=(ROWS($6:6)-1)*12+6)*(ROW($D$1:$D$1000)<=(ROWS($6:6)-1)*12+17)*Amortization!$D$1:$D$1000)

I tried this formula but received an error. Please look at the sheet labeled "Yearly" and look at cell K12 - This is where I entered your formula. In column M are the results that should show in Column K

It's missing a parenthesis after -1
Excel Formula:
=SUM(OFFSET(AMORTIZATION!$D$6,12*(ROW(A1)-1),0,12,1))

Solution
My bad, I typed the formula by hand, all uppercase, and it seems a misplaced comma.
