I'm trying to do sequential summing on a spreadsheet. The first rows are data by date, and I want do sums by the week. but Excel's autopopulate keeps screwing it up and I don't know how to fix that.
Date A
----
1 | 5
2 | 5
3 | 5
4 | 5
5 | 5
6 | 5
7 | 5
8 | 5
9 | 5
10 | 5
11 | 5
12 | 5
13 | 5
14 | 5
so what I want in another area
Week Total
1 | =sum(A1:A7)
2 | =sum(A8:A14)
3 | =sum(A15:A21)
4 | continue like this for 52 weeks
but what excel keeps giving me with it's auto populating is
Week Total
1 | =sum(A1:A7) #The first iteration
2 | =sum(A2:A8) #auto generated
3 | =sum(A3:A9) #auto generated
How can I get excel to give me the results I want here? I've been searching on summing for a while and can't seem to even phrase my question right.

=sum(indirect("A"&(row()*7-6)&":A"&(row()*7)))
pasted in row 1 and below should work at least in sheets, it does. (and excel docs say indirect works)
