    Hi I'm no expert but I think you can do it by holding "Ctrl" and then clicking the column headers that you need.

    This should get you started. With the range starting in A1, this sums every 4th column with first summed column being column D so the columns be summed would be D, H, L etc. to column AZ

    If your data starts in say column B

    Increase the -1 for every column displaced to the right. B being 1 C being 2 etc.
