I'm looking for a way to sum every nth cell in a tab. In the example below, you can see that the consolidated view is a simple manual sum, but I'm looking for a way to automate the process. So if I'm adding a 4th store with quantity in cells C14 to E15, I'd like the sums in cells C2 to E3 to include them.

In this example, the quantities are every 3rd row, but I need to be able to modify this in the formula as it can change.

Thanks.

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
You can use this formula and amend it as you add more data:

Excel Formula:
=SUMIF(B2:B12,B2,C5:C12)

However, you might want to look at making the range dynamic.

Hi, have you considered SUMIF, considering column B already has all you need? If not, SUMPRODCUT will do.

With Excel 365 you could use the FILTER function:
