shorthand for consistent but non-contiguous range of cells

is there any way of specifying a range of non-contiguous cells? E.g., if I
wanted to sum every third cell, rather than going =SUM(A1,A4,A7,A10) is
there any notation I could use analogous to =SUM(A1:A10)? I'd prefer to
avoid macros in this instance if possible.

This would be for a large spreadsheet, to which extra rows are sometimes
added.

thanks,

Julz
 
Here's one way to do it although it's no pleasure to look at. This adds
A11, 14, 17 and 20:

=SUMPRODUCT(A11:A20,(MOD(ROW(A11:A20)-ROW(A11),3)=0)*1)
