Default SUM - getting #VALUE! when some cells are blank

SUM will handle blank cells so there must be another problem.

I got a result of zero with no data in your range.

I need to show the sum of every 14th cell from S20 to DM20. Some of these
cells will be blank.

The basic SUM formula I am using is:
=SUM(S20+AG20+AU20+BI20+BW20+CK20+CY20+DM20)

Due to some of the cells being blank, I am getting a result of #VALUE!

How can I get it to still show a value, i.e. to still sum the values that
are present?

Thanks
