If you're at the BEGINNING of the project where you can still make design changes, I would STRONGLY urge you to NORMALIZE your table.
Instead of columns M1 to M12, you ought to have a DATE column and a VALUE column.
Then at report time, using a query, you can do a crosstab to sum values across Date by month.

Thanks for the input. This is a reporting table so I don't believe normalizing is an issue. Essentially, I'm building a table to be used as input to a report. Each of the Mn column values will be the result of a complex SQL query.
