Your notation is a bit strange, there is a difference between = (Set)
and := (SetDelayed) and its hard to tell where you wish to use = and
:=.
Taking a guess at what you mean to do, with a little manipulation, and
using proper Mathematica notation we can see that
Y[i_]:=(1-i/n) Sum[a[[k]],{k,i}]-i/n Sum[a[[k]],{k,i+1,n}]
presumably n is defined somewhere or you can replace it with Length[a].
You should probably define a as
a={values} not a:={values}.
