Adding Cells that Contain Text
Hi,
You can use the sum function as follows to solve your problem:
=SUM((VALUE(LEFT(A1,1))),VALUE(LEFT(A2,1)))
cell a1 -- 5 - oranges
cell a2 -- 6 - Grapes
so that you will get 11 as result.
Hope this will clear your doubt.
Regards,
Soundar.

Is there anyway that I can add two cells ie.
cell 1 - (5 - Oranges)
cell 2 - (6 - Grapes)
and get a sum of 11 in the third cell...i cant just use the sum
function because of the text being in the cells
