Dynamic input ranges for formula calculations

HI All, I have a month wise data set with two columns (A &B) which is the input data.

 

The output needs to be a 1month, 3month, 6month, 12month and YTD summary using a formula { =(PRODUCT(range/100+1)-1)*100}. Range denotes last three values of col A for a 3month calculation, last six values of col A for 6month calculation and so on. 

 

Both input and output in same tab of attached file.  Please can someone guide on this?

There might be a more elegant solution, but I've used a series of sample/filter tools to identify the rows of interest for each different time period, then unioned them back together for the calculations.  My results don't quite match yours so I might have gone slightly wrong, hopefully you'll be able to spot where since I haven't found it yet...

Thanks Christina! I will try this out, I think the output variation is due to the product function used in multi-row tool.
