Peo,

This works a treat - you have saved me many hours keeping two spreadsheets
in line

I thank you!

Regards

This will total A1:A6 for any letters

This would sum the total in A1:A6

=SUMPRODUCT((LEN(A1:A6)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A6,"a","")))*0.5+LEN(A1:A6)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A6,"A","")))

Assuming that's the case

=(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"a","")))*0.5+LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"A",""))

Are you using the whole alphabet or just A and a?

Do you know of anyway of converting the following


a = 0.5
A = 1.0
Aa = 1.5
Aaa = 2.0
AA = 2.0
aAA
= 2.5
EG : If cell A1 contains a lower case letter - Cell D1 will show a
numeric
value of 0.5
If cell A2 contains an upper case letter - Cell D2 will show a numeric
value of 1

In effect an Upper case letter has a value of 1, a lower case = 0.5

Then, if a cell contains a mixture of both - the cell value is summed
together

EG Cell A3, 1 upper and 1 lower - Therefore D3 - 1.5
etc as in the above example


This has been melting my brain for a day or so now - so I need the help
of
an expert!
