Sum every 'X' number of Rows- Multiple Columns

Hello.

 

I have a data pull (below image) where I would like to sum every 7 rows across all column (the number of columns will not remain constant).

 

I am pretty positive this can be obtained using the Multi-Row tool, however I am not figuring out the Expression for the sum and I am not sure how to handle the dynamic number of columns aspect.

@ScubaGeekNV 
I think that using Multi Row Formula tool would be too complex to get it done, nevertheless you can try to go with that solution.

I think that it will be easier the create flags that indicating 7 rows, Flag 1 from 1 to 7, flag 2 from 8 to 14 etc. Then use Cross Tab tool or Summarize tool to get the values sum up.

Or you can use batch macro to get it done.

@ScubaGeekNV ,

 

Here is a sample workflow. (It's the same as @OTrieger 's 1st idea.)

I hope this helps.

Glad to here the Multi-Row tool would be too complicated, now I do not feel bad for not figuring that option out! LOL

 

This solution works perfectly! Thank you for your help.
