I'm trying to total
=SUM(D3,D11,D19,D27,D35,D43,D51,D59,D67,D75,D83,D9 1,D99,D107,D115,D123,D131,D139,D147,D155,D163,D171 ,D179,D187,D195,D203,D211,D219,D227,D235)

please try with subtotal, available in "Data" menu.

First, you don't need SUM() at all in this case. A simple
=D3+D11+D19....
will do. SUM() is usually used for quickly adding contiguous ranges, like
=SUM(D1:D9) [would add all values in D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8 and D9

By removing the SUM() function from your statement, you get away from the
limit on number of cells referenced in it, and you move on to a much larger
limit for the total size of contents of a formula.

Try something like this:

This function sums D3 and every eighth cell below it.
=SUMPRODUCT((MOD(ROW(D3:D1000)-3,8)=0)*D3:D1000)

Is that something you can work with?
