Default Help! I need a formula to add numbers separated by commas within

Is it an option to split the data into 4 columns? Data/Text To
Columns/Delimited, delimiter = ","

ensure the columns to the right of your data are empty (when the data gets
split, it will overwrite whatever is in the adjacent columns), select your
data, separate the data using text to columns, then just use the sum function
and copy it as far down or across as needed. keep a backup in case of
mishaps.

Hello. I have a spreas sheeit in which each cell has various number
seperated with commas. For e.g. 100, 200, 300, 400 are in one cell. I have
an entire worksheet in which each cell has multiple numbers and I need for
each cell to be summed up individually. So if I have 100, 200, 300 in a
cell, I need it to add up and read 600. I can go into each cell individually
and enter the =sum but that would take me forever with an entire spread
sheet. Is there a way I can highlight the spreadsheet and enter a formula
that will automatically add up each individual cell so I don't have to enter
=sum in each individual cell?

I hope I'm being clear. Please help!
