=SUMPRODUCT(CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1) )),1)))

Is the OP interested in telling whether or not TomBill and BillTom are composed
of identical word strings, or is he interested in knowing if the ASCII codes of
the letters add up to the same value?

There are many combinations that will add up to 691:

TomBill
BillTom
KimJune
JuneKim
WilmaJo

etc.
