I have been dealing with that same problem for quite a while now. The way I get around it is to go to the beginning of the formula with a VO plus shift plus home and then cursor to the right. Each press of the cursor will speak the current field value be at a token, or a arithmetic character, or an address. For example, with your formula. I would arrow to the right ones and hear the function “some“. The next press would weed out the address be six: B 40. Finally, the third press would speak The parentheses symbol. if I wished to edit the address for example, after radar owing past the address, I would then backspace. This will delete the address and then I can type in the new address. It does get quite tricky working and formulas at times and sometimes it’s just easier to erase it and retype the whole dang thing.
