Default more arguments have been specified for this function than are allo

My best guess:

Try putting ( ) around some arguments like this:

=SUM((A1,D27,D99,D1071),(AA48,X222,Y19))

Each set of ( ) is 1 argument.

arguments have been specified for this function than are allowed in the
current file format" How can I correct this?

I think the problem is that it's not allowing or complaining of too many
parenthesis. Or at least that's what's happened to me. It won't allow me to
complete the formula, and I'm only one short !!
