Need to add figures based on alpha characters in the same cell
My data is in the format of 55.45cc 34.00ca 23.21 ch ...... where the
number represents a dollar amount of a sale and the letters indicate cc=credit card, ca=cash etc. Each number/character pair is in a single cell. e.g. 55.45cc is in one cell. A row of these numbers/characters like above represent a day of sales. I want to have totals for all credit cards, all cash, and all check. Hope this makes sense. If not here is an example (I have left out any numbers after the decimal) 10cc 5ca 20cc 5cc 10ca 5ca In the above, the cc total should be $30 (i.e. 10cc + 20cc) and the ca total should be $20 (i.e. 5ca + 10 ca + 5ca). |

Need to add figures based on alpha characters in the same cell
Assume data in row 2, A2:K2.
Total Sales: =SUMPRODUCT(--LEFT(A2:K2,LEN(A2:K2)-2)) If strings cc,ca,ch are in cells L1:N1 then you can calculate their respective subtotals with the following formula: =SUMPRODUCT(LEFT($A2:$K2,LEN($A2:$K2)-2)*(RIGHT($A2:$K2,2)=L$1)) This formula can be copied to the right and down to produce the subtotals for each day.

Need to add figures based on alpha characters in the same cell
Hi,
Try this =SUM(IF(RIGHT(A1:A20,2)="cc",LEFT(A1:A20,5)*1)) In practice you could use a cell address of the "cc" 'This is an array formula which must be entered with CTRL+Shift+Enter and NOT 'just enter. If you do it correct then Excel will put curly brackets around 'the formula{}. You can't type these yourself. If you Edit the ranges 'then you must re-enter as An array Mike "Frustrated in Iowa" wrote: My data is in the format of 55.45cc 34.00ca 23.21 ch ...... where the number represents a dollar amount of a sale and the letters indicate cc=credit card, ca=cash etc. Each number/character pair is in a single cell. e.g. 55.45cc is in one cell.

Do you know how I can use your formula below in Google Docs(spreadsheets). I keep getting an error. Google seems to have all the functions you used - however I don't know what the -- means that you have just before the word LEFT (The formula works great in Excel) "T.

I don't know what the -- means that you have
just before the word LEFT LEFT is a *text* function so it returns a *text* value. We need to convert the result of LEFT into numeric numbers that SUM can add together. SUM ignores text. The double unary (--) coerces the text numbers returned by LEFT into numeric numbers which SUM can then add up. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Frustrated in Iowa" wrote in message ...
