Default Sum delimited values in text string if...

See if this works for you:

=SUM(IF(LEFT(B10:BD10,2)="1x",--MID(B10:BD10,3,99),0))

This is an array formula, so should be entered with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER rather
than just Enter. If done properly, the formula should be surround by { }.

I would like to be able to sum numbers from a portion of a text string if the
number meets a condition. The cells of data are in a row. The data looks like
the following:
1x1.5
21x9
3x2

The number of digits is not a fixed length. The "x" consistently delimits
the numbers.

This formula is to give me the value of the right number if the left number
= 1. It seems to work fine.
=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(B10,FIND("x",B10)-1)="1")*(RIGHT(B10,LEN(B10)-FIND("x",B10))))

I need to be able to sum all the right numbers when the value of the left
number = 1 over a range of cells, B10:BD10. When I use the formula below I
get a #Value! error:
=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(B10:BD10,FIND("x",B10:BD10)-1)="1")*(RIGHT(B10:BD10,LEN(B10:BD10)-FIND("x",B10:BD10))))

Can anyone tell me what I can do to make the formula work?

Thanks
