Hello,

I have an issue that I have really been scratching my head on.
Perhaps I am overthinking this, but I will try to describe it in detail.

I have a large spreadsheet (over 5k rows).
There is a formula pattern that I cant seem to get right when I try to apply it all the way down the worksheet.

I'll explain the first couple rows.
A value is gathered from another slightly smaller sheet (called 'Data Input') and placed on cell H2.
The row beneath it will keep track of a cumulative count from the data above it, beginning in H3.
A value is gathered from the 'Data Input' on cell I2, and beneath it the cumulative count is calculated.

Not sure if that makes sense. I will try to illustrate below.

Here are the formula patterns that I would WANT to happen:
...HIJKDI
...2='Data Input'!H2='Data Input'!I2='Data Input'!J2='Data Input'!K2.....='Data Input'!DI2
3=H2=H3+I2=I3+J2=J3+K2.....=DH3+DI2
4='Data Input'!H3='Data Input'!I3='Data Input'!I3='Data Input'!I3.....='Data Input'!DI3
5=H4=H5+I4=I5+J4=J5+K4.....=DH5+DI4
6='Data Input'!H4='Data Input'!I4='Data Input'!I4='Data Input'!I4.....='Data Input'!DI4
7=H6=H7+I6=I7+J6=J7+K6.....=DH7+DI6
8='Data Input'!H5='Data Input'!I5='Data Input'!I5='Data Input'!I5.....='Data Input'!DI5
9=H8=H9+I8=I9+J8=J9+K8.....=DH9+DI8
10='Data Input'!H6='Data Input'!I6='Data Input'!I6='Data Input'!I6.....='Data Input'!DI6
11=H10=H11+I10=I11+J10=J11+K10.....=DH11+DI10

Here are the formulas that CURRENTLY happen (the issue).
...HIJKDI
...2='Data Input'!H2='Data Input'!I2='Data Input'!J2='Data Input'!K2.....='Data Input'!DI2
3=H2=H3+I2=I3+J2=J3+K2.....=DH3+DI2
4='Data Input'!H3='Data Input'!I3='Data Input'!J3='Data Input'!K3.....='Data Input'!DI3
5=H4=H5+I4=I5+J4=J5+K4.....=DH5+DI4
6='Data Input'!H6='Data Input'!I6='Data Input'!J6='Data Input'!K6.....='Data Input'!DI6
7=H6=H7+I6=I7+J6=J7+K6.....=DH7+DI6
8='Data Input'!H7='Data Input'!I7='Data Input'!J7='Data Input'!K7.....='Data Input'!DI7
9=H8=H9+I8=I9+J8=J9+K8.....=DH9+DI8
10='Data Input'!H10='Data Input'!I10='Data Input'!J10='Data Input'!K10.....='Data Input'!DI10
11=H10=H11+I10=I11+J10=J11+K10.....=DH11+DI10

What am I doing wrong? Is there a more simple way to do this instead of hard-coding formulas into each cell?

I hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance!

I2:K11I2=IF(MOD(ROWS(I$2:I2),2)=1, INDEX('Data Input'!I$2:I$8,INT((ROWS(I$2:I2)-1)/2)+1),SUM(I1,H2))


Observe that the formula in column H (first column) is slightly different.
To others columns simply type the formula in I2, copy down and drag to the right
