Sum cells that have both alpha and numbers
Assuming the number is *always* preceded by a space character and there is
*always* just a single space character. Try this array formula** : =SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(-RIGHT(A1:A4)),--MID(A1:A4,FIND(" ",A1:A4)+1,5))) ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Bluthjen" wrote in message ...
