Default Extend the number of arguments of a function

Hi All,

A lot of functions have a limitation on the number of arguments/values, e.g.

=SUM(cell_1, cell_2, ...., cell_30). (non-adjacent cells)

The same limitation exists if values are used:

=SUM(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 ,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)

But you can overrule the limitation if you write the function as:

=SUM({1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1})
= 40

My question is if there is a way to write functions with ranges allowing to
overrule the limitation?

I've tried already something like =SUM({cell_1,cell_2}) but this doesn't
work.

Wkr,

JP
