If I have a formula such as SUM(A1:A12) and drag/copy it one cell down
it becomes SUM(A2:A13), but what if I only want to use each cell once,
say to convert monthly data to annual data. so that dragging the
formula down would give:

SUM(A13:A24) then
SUM(A25:A36)
SUM(A37:A48) etc.
 
Put this in your first cell:

=SUM(INDIRECT("A"&ROW(A1)*12+1&":A"&(ROW(A1)+1)*12))

then copy down as required.

Hope this helps.

If your new data for new month, is beneath the present month, then dragging
the sum for present will populate the data for next month.
