Create a new dynamic column with the sum of last N column

Hello everyone, i have a workflow which refreshes everyday with the previous day's sales. 

 

I created a table where i can see the sales of last two weeks of the sites day by day. I would like to create a column to the end, where i sum up the sales of the last 3 days (or last n days) of sites. The data will be updated daily and the column names will be updated accordingly so it needs to be dynamic.

 

An example table: 

 19.09.202320.09.202321.09.202322.09.202323.09.2023Total of Last 3 Days
Site A109410923
Site B11121141227
Site C8381312
Site D3136110

 

Hope that was clear enough! 

 

Thank you in advance

Thank you binuacs, i understood the logic.

 

However, i am having trouble to output "dates", which i believe it is a format issue. Dynamic Select tool only brings the Site, but not the dates.

 

Date column comes from the formula tool with following formula:

 

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse([KAYIT TARİHİ],"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"), "%d-%m-%Y")

 

Really appreciated in advance!
