User Defined Functions (UDFs) are very easy to install and use:
1. ALT-F11 brings up the VBE window
2. ALT-I
ALT-M opens a fresh module
3. paste the UDF in and close the VBE window
If you save the workbook, the UDF will be saved with it.
To remove the UDF:
1. bring up the VBE window as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
To learn more about UDFs and macros in general, see:

Hi Gary''s Student,
Thanks for your response. I'll see how I can work with this UDF (have not
done it before). But I'll manage it.
Best regards,
Marc

Let's say we have the following in column A:
ﾂ｣49.98
ぎ 29.16
ﾂ｣49.98
ぎ 29.16
ﾂ｣49.98
ぎ 29.16
First enter this small UDF:
Function txet(r As Range) As String
txet = r.Text
End Function
This function returns a real text string for its argument. In B1 enter:
=txet(A1) and copy down. We se:
ﾂ｣49.98 ﾂ｣49.98
ぎ 29.16 ぎ 29.16
ﾂ｣49.98 ﾂ｣49.98
ぎ 29.16 ぎ 29.16
ﾂ｣49.98 ﾂ｣49.98
ぎ 29.16 ぎ 29.16
Column B ;ooks link column A, but the currency symbols are "real"; therefore
we can use sumproduct:
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A6),--(LEFT((B1:B6),1)="ﾂ｣"))
which displays:
149.94

Hi,
I'm travelling for business throughout Europe.
I've setup my expense claim in Excel in both Euro and GBP format on claims
here and there.
Would anybody know of a trick to do a SUMIF based on the currency format
used, in order to get the total amounts in GBP and the total amount in Euro
(each in it's own cell)?
Thanks in advance for your help!
