Default Formula for sum of alternate cells

Hi,

Please array enter (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) the following formula

SUM(IF((MOD(COLUMN(E23:I23),2)<0),E23:I23))

What this formula does is that if the column number/2<0, then it sums up
the numbers from those columns.

Folks,

I'm trying to find a formula for summing the contents of alternate cells
in
a row?

I have a large workbook and want to calculate the contents of row 23 -
i.e.
E23, G23, I23, K23, M23 etc etc, up to KK23. Is there a simple formula
for
this?
