Annual to quarterly growth rate

Okay, I feel slightly retarded as I should know this BUT:

I have annual revenue numbers: let's assume 100 in 2007 and 105 in 2008. I want to calculate what the quarterly growth rate was in each quarter. I thought CAGR would do the trick, but then I realized I was wrong. Annual growth is obviously 5%, so

(1+0.05)^0.25-1=1.23% quarterly, right?

Now that's all great but I can only use 1.23% if I'm grossing up 100 by 1.23% four times to get to 105. But how do I get to the percentage growth on a quarterly basis? If I assume Q4 '07 revenue of 25 (one fourth of 100), how do I calculate the percentage growth for each quarter to get 2008 revenue of 2005? I know how to goal seek it but I need a formula as I need to run this calc many times over.

Thanks a bunch for any help!!!
