I tried to =SUM(INDIRECT("B4,B6")) but it doesn't work. How to do that?

What formula are you using the INDIRECT range with? Remember, that returns those two exact cells as a single range, not two separate ranges. – Breakthrough Jul 28 '11 at 17:10
In pt-BR I use =SOMA(INDIRETO("B4;B6")) – Jader Dias Jul 28 '11 at 17:10

the SUM function only takes continuous cell ranges as its arguments. – Breakthrough Jul 28 '11 at 17:17

@Mehper C. Palavuzlar each argument has to be a continuous range. What you posted in your answer further proves my point, since you did not specify a non-continuous range for any argument, but rather, they are all continuous. – Breakthrough Jul 28 '11 at 17:30

It works this way:

=SUM(INDIRECT("B4"),INDIRECT("B6"))
