Answer / prag s.
IF WE DON'T USE 'OF' THEN IT WOULD BE LIKE A1(MINUS)-A4. AND
THAT'S NOT WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. WE ARE TRYING
TO GET THE SUM OF THE VARIABLES A1-A4...

Answer / shraddha ganoo
When we give OF it will consider the range. i.e from a1 to
a4 and a6 and a9, if we omit OF word then the SUM function
will consider the hyphen sign (-) between a1 and a4 as a
minus sign and perform operations accordingly.

Answer / prem krishnan
if missing value is there in any of the varibale,if we dont
use 'of' then it will give missing value "." in the
resultant variable.
if we use 'of' then it will give the sum of the values in
rest of the variable it will consider missing value
