Hi,
I'm sure there must be a better way because this is a bit long winded but it
does return the sum of the 7 highest consecutive values in the range a1- a100
which you can change to suit.
=SUMPRODUCT(MAX(A1:A100+OFFSET(A1:A100,1,0)+OFFSET(A1:A100,2,0)+OFFSET(A1:A100,3,0)+OFFSET(A1:A100,4,0)+OFFSET(A1:A100,5,0)+OFFSET(A1:A100,6,0)))

Try one of these:
Assume the range is A1:A100.
=SUMPRODUCT(MAX(A1:A94+A2:A95+A3:A96+A4:A97+A5:A98+A6:A99+A7:A100))
Or, this array formula** :
=MAX(SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:INDEX(A:A,ROWS(A1:A100)-7+1))-1,,7,)))
** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)
