alternatively you can use a formula to create the text string:

=TEXTJOIN("+",,H2:J2)

that will produce 4+5 text and then copy and paste special (as value) in another cell

here is where it can get funky, for some reason in some cases excel will automatically convert it back to a 'regular' formula copy and become "=TEXTJOIN("+",,H3:J3)"

That said, if that happens, just hit UNDO and the cell will revert back to the 4+5 text only

Finally copy that text into your equation.
