Calculation by inserting = sign at the start of equaton
I have column in a sheet that contains below:
8+4+8 8+4+4 4+8+4 4+8+2 Equation might be text as I exported this from other application. I have to insert = sign at the start of the equation to calculate. e.g =8+4+8 and press enter to get the results of 20. How can I get the results in a quicker way? I have thousand lines in the file. Thanks

From menu Insert a Module and paste the below function.Close and get back to workbook and try the below formula. =EquateFormula(A1) Function EquateFormula(strData As String) As Long EquateFormula = Application.Evaluate("=" & strData) End Function If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Rechie" wrote: I have column in a sheet that contains below: 8+4+8 8+4+4 4+8+4 4+8+2 Equation might be text as I exported this from other application.
