Default adding numbers with letters

Hi Singha,

If 29A is in A1, 30A in A2 and 19A in A3, then the following array
formula returns 78A...

=SUM(VALUE(LEFT(A1:A3,LEN(A1:A3)-1)))&"A"

It is an array formula so you have to enter it by simultaneously
pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter, other wise the #VALUE error is returned.
