Default How to add alphanumeric data? (e.g., 1C+2D)

If you always have one digit to add, you can use:

=left(a1,1)+left(a2,1)+left(a3,1)

If you can have more than one digit, but only one letter, you can use:

=left(a1,len(a1)-1)+...

If you have something else, let us know.

I have a set of alphanumeric data. How do I add just numbers, leaving
letters behind?

For instance, 1X+2X+3X should = 6. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
