I'm trying to come up with a formula that can 'restart' a running total after 12 rows.

Currently my data looks like this where the running total is calculated using the formula in C2 is
Code:
=SUM($B$2:B2)

This works fine until I reach row 14. Here I would like the formula to 'restart' so it would be
Code:
=SUM($B$14:B14)
.

Is there anyway I can achive this 'restart' by counting the number of rows so I don't have to manually update the formula as I go?

I know it is possible to use the function in a PivotTable but that's not the solution I'm looking for.
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
This line is pointless and will basically copy what is in cell B2.

Code:
=SUM($B$2:B2)

you could just as easily have
Code:
=B2

I think it must be a typo?

@gallen,

Yes, that is the case for the first row. However, I'm looking for the running total so I need that formula for all other rows. E.g. C3 would be

Code:
=SUM($B$2:B3)
and not just
Code:
=B3
.
