Formula Assistance
Hello Everyone,
I need assistance creating a formula that will give the sum of every fifth cell in a single column.

Hi cbonnell!
In order to best assist you I'd like to understand a bit more about your use case and how your sheet is organized. There may be a better solution than using to calculate a sum of every 5th cell in a column.
For example, you may be able to take advantage of row hierarchy and the hierarchy functions (CHILDREN, PARENT, ANCESTORS) to create rollups.See these articles for more information:

Thanks,

Just throwing this out there:
You can always have a new extra column that repeatedly counts 1-5
=IF(CountCellAbove=5,1,CountCellAbove + 1)
Then your Sum formula can be:
=IF(CountCellCurrentRow=5,SumCellAbove+CurrentRowValue,SumCellAbove)
If you need more help understanding what I mean, let me know.
