Default Need to add figures based on alpha characters in the same cell


I'm sorry, I wasn't able to make this work

Assume data in row 2, A2:K2.

Total Sales:

=SUMPRODUCT(--LEFT(A2:K2,LEN(A2:K2)-2))

If strings cc,ca,ch are in cells L1:N1 then you can calculate their
respective subtotals with the following formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(LEFT($A2:$K2,LEN($A2:$K2)-2)*(RIGHT($A2:$K2,2)=L$1))

This formula can be copied to the right and down to produce the
subtotals for each day.

My data is in the format of 55.45cc 34.00ca 23.21 ch ...... where the
number represents a dollar amount of a sale and the letters indicate
cc=credit card, ca=cash etc. Each number/character pair is in a single cell.
e.g. 55.45cc is in one cell. A row of these numbers/characters like above
represent a day of sales. I want to have totals for all credit cards, all
cash, and all check. Hope this makes sense. If not here is an example (I
have left out any numbers after the decimal)
10cc 5ca 20cc 5cc 10ca 5ca

In the above, the cc total should be $30 (i.e. 10cc + 20cc) and the ca total
should be $20 (i.e. 5ca + 10 ca + 5ca).
