    Dragging consecutive ranges

    Not sure where this should really be, but here is my issue:

    I am attempting to drag:
    =SUM('January 2016'!B3:B6)

    into:
    =SUM('January 2016'!B7:B10)

    and so on. But all I am getting is:
    =SUM('January 2016'!B4:B7)

    I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Could we see an example workbook? It would make it far easier to understand your need.

    Desensitize any sensitive data and show expected results where possible.

    What exactly are you trying to do?

    You are not missing anything, if you drag a reference to B3 to the next cell over, you will get a reference to B4 - no-way will you ever get it to reference B7 just by draging that across

    Maybe

    =SUM(OFFSET('January 2016'!$B$3,(ROWS(A$1:A1)-1)*4,0,4,1))

    Thanks Jason, that has helped me no end. Everything is working perfectly. The only issue I have now is working out how your formula works for the future
