Sorry, think I missed a clarification on the formulas in O2:P2
(add a zero to the MID formulas to coerce the text to a number)

Try it as
In O2: =MID($N2,1,1)+0
In P2: =MID($N2,2,1)+0
Then in Q2: =SUMIF(O2:P2,"<#VALUE!")
Select O2:Q2, copy down

I attempted both ways and came up with nothing unfortunately. Here are a
couple of numbers I'm working with, and their corresponding formulas:

# MID Fx MID Fx Total
10 1 0 0
12 1 2 2
4 4 0
6 6

=G2*2 =MID($N2,1,1) =MID($N2,2,1) =SUMIF(O2:P2,"<#VALUE!",O2:P2)
=G3*2 =MID($N3,1,1) =MID($N3,2,1) =IF(ISERROR(MID($N3,1,1)),0,(MID($N3,2,1)))
=G9*2 =MID($N9,1,1) =MID($N9,2,1) =SUMIF(O9:P9,"<#VALUE!",O9:P9)
=G10*2 =MID($N10,1,1) =MID($N10,2,1) =IF(ISERROR(MID($N10,1,1)),0,(MID($N10,2,1)))


The sum of the # in the first row is 1, and the second is 3; and the
following two rows should be same as the original number. If I'm not clear
on something please let me know.
