I can't speak with any certainty if white space cannot be interspersed on a Mac system, but it makes no difference in Excel on Windows. In short, the expressions:

       SUM(A1:F1)
       SUM ( A1 : F1 )

are equivalent and syntactically correct (the second sample has spaces interspersed throughout).

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to You and Yours
Holland and Bill
- Scrooge, witnessing the Cratchet family Christmas celebration, begins an exchange with the Spirit of Christmas Present: - "`Spirit,' said Scrooge, with an interest he had never felt before, `tell me if Tiny Tim will live.' `I see a vacant seat,' replied the Ghost, `in the poor chimney-corner, and a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, the child will die.'
`No, no,' said Scrooge. `Oh, no, kind Spirit. say he will be spared.'
`If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, none other of my race,' returned the Ghost, `will find him here. What then. If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.' Scrooge hung his head to hear his own words quoted by the Spirit, and was overcome with penitence and grief."
- "A Christmas Carol," 1843, Charles Dickens

Two ways:

=A1+B1+C1 or =A1+D1+F1 if they’re non-contiguous.
Or, =SUMA1:F1) if the block of cells is contiguous.

the same will work for columns or an array.
