I have set up a formula to sum data from specific columns in multiple sheets in the same file. The simple formula had worked perfectly until I needed the data from the last sheet. In all of the other sheets the data that I need to pull is all in consecutive rows but in the last sheet the data that I need pulled and added is in every 4th row. The sheet looks like this:

All of the columns I've filled in work fine. The ones blank are the ones I am running into issues with. When I drag down the formulas excel pulls the next consecutive rows, which is perfect for the first four sheets I am summing, but for the fifth sheet (I'll ref the Test1 column) I need it to pull 'Wayne 2014'!C6 and then 'Wayne 2014'!C10 in the next row and so forth.

DateAll TestTest1Test2Test3Test4$ Amt.
Jan.16=SUM(C2+D2+E2+F2)=SUM('Gennessee 2014'!C2+'Kalamazoo 2014'!C2+'Kent 2014'!C2+'Oakland 2014'!C2+'Wayne 2014'!C2)=SUM('Gennessee 2014'!D2+'Kalamazoo 2014'!D2+'Kent 2014'!D2+'Oakland 2014'!D2+'Wayne 2014'!D2)=SUM('Kalamazoo 2014'!E2)=SUM('Gennessee 2014'!E2+'Kalamazoo 2014'!F2+'Kent 2014'!E2+'Oakland 2014'!E2+'Wayne 2014'!E2)=SUM('Gennessee 2014'!F2+'Kalamazoo 2014'!G2+'Kent 2014'!F2+'Oakland 2014'!F2+'Wayne 2014'!F2)
Jan.31=SUM(C3+D3+E3+F3)
Feb.16=SUM(C4+D4+E4+F4)

<tbody>
</tbody>

The first four sheets look like this, which is why they work fine:

DateAll TestTest1Test2Test3$ Amt.
Jan. 16=SUM(C2:E2)111$1
Jan. 31=SUM(C3:E3)111$1
Feb. 1=SUM(C4:E4)111$1

<tbody>
</tbody>

The fifth sheet looks like this:
I only want the formulas from the first sheet to pull the data from the dated rows in this sheet.

DateAll TestTest1Test2Test3$ Amt.
Jan. 16=SUM(C2:E2)
=SUM(C3:C5)

<tbody>
</tbody>
=SUM(D3:D5)=SUM(E3:E5)=SUM(F3:F5)
Div.1=SUM(C3:E3)111$1
Div.2=SUM(C4:E4)111$1
Div.3=SUM(C5:E5)111$1
Jan.31=SUM(C6:E6)=SUM(C7:C9)=SUM(D7:D9)=SUM(E7:E9)=SUM(F7:F9)
Div.1=SUM(C7:E7)111$1
Div.2=SUM(C8:E8)111$1
Div.3=SUM(C9:E9)111$1
Feb.1=SUM(C10:E10)=SUM(C11:C13)=SUM(D11:D13)=SUM(E11:E13)=SUM(F11:F13)
Div.1=SUM(C11:E11)111$1
Div.2=SUM(C12:E12)111$1
Div.3=SUM(C13:E13)111$1

Is there any way in Excel 2010 to get it do what I want?

I apologize if I have given unnecessary information. I am horrible at explaining things and am new to the forum but I wanted to make sure everything was clear.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

(I am not sure how that one cell became outlined and I do not know how to fix it. Sorry if that confused anything.)
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Ok. So I've been trial and erroring variations of function similar to what I need for like an hour. I finally got to this:
=SUM('Gennessee 2014'!F2+'Kalamazoo 2014'!G2+'Kent 2014'!F2+'Oakland 2014'!F2+'Wayne 2014'!F2*(MOD(ROW('Wayne 2014'!F2)-1,4)))
It works perfectly when I enter it in but when I drag it down...not so much. I can't figure out how to fix it. If someone could please please help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.
