Excel Not Recognizing Reference Pattern

Without seeing your file I would recommend to re-design it as it sounds like you are capturing daily information and then added subtotals by week. Now you want to extract those sub-totals in consecutive rows.
Try this in D4 and copy down:
=INDEX(A:A,(ROW()-ROW($D$3))*9-2)However, much better to get rid of the sub-totals and use Excel's built-in functions to summarise the daily entries by week, month, quarter, year. Whatever. Share a file if you think it's feasible in your situation.
