What inspired this wish list request?
This post No output result for summation of multiple columns
What is the improvement you would like to see?
Change quick formula Sum to use Sum() function instead of + as Sum() is able handle missing values. Optionally add other Sum() option which would use Sum (or rather add Add() which would be using Add() or + and Sum should utilize Sum()).
