    Unhappy How to apply correctly SUM INDIRECT to non continuous column?

    Hi all,


    What i'm trying to achieve is the sum of 2 cells located in non continuous column,
    my main purpose is to keep at all the time the same cell references with formulas.
    (i have to apply INDIRECT in a hundreds of cell that use different formulas)
    i used various (and some insane lol ) formulas and I'm receiving an REF Error or ####

    Cell F4 have 1 and Cell H1 have 0,

    these are the following formulas applied with not success
    =SUM(INDIRECT("F4,H4"))
    =SUM(INDIRECT(F4,H4)) 
    =SUM(INDIRECT(F4":"H4))
    =SUM(INDIRECT("F4"",""H4"))


    Thank you in advance

    One way...

    =SUM(SUM(INDIRECT({"F4","H4"})))

    That formula will ALWAYS refer to F4 and H4 no matter what!
