It almost seems crazy to me that I'm missing this, but I am missing something
here. I have a large formula that I do not want to have to start over and do
a manual cell selection with (I think I realize I could have eliminated this
by holding down CTRL when I did the range, but that's an aside for now [and
please correct me if that is wrong too]).

THis is for Excel 2007/Enterprise

The formula is meant to be something like in the post title, i.e.:
=SUM(B2:B9)+B15+(B19:B44)+B90

but of course that gives me an error (#value).

I've tried the formula w/o any parenthesis
=B2:B9+B15+B19:B44+B90
(also the above w/a SUM in it)

with parenthesis as in the first example,
and as
=SUM([B2:B9]+B15+[B19:B44]+B90)
where the inside parentheses (currently "[]") were regular parentheses "()"
and the square ones. None worked so I went back to ()'s.

None of these have worked - could someone please share with me what I'm
doing incorrectly? It's a simple column of multiple debit entries into an
account, and we're trying to select only pertinent values.

I'll paste the LOOOOONG formula here for your review as well - thank you in
advance for your help!

Regards,
T.
