Default Adding multiple numbers in one cell

I tried this one =EVALUATE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","+")) , I must be doing
something wrong. I am new to Excel so I must be missing something. In this
example what would the formula look like? The amount of numbers in C will
vary in each row.

a b c
d
1 700-2, 88-00,
900-4, 33-00,

2


3

Thanks so much.

The formula *must* be entered in the cell to the immediate right of the cell
that you want to sum. For example:

E1 = 87563, 8930, 98279

The formula *must* be entered in cell F1.

Create this named formula.
Select cell B1. ***this is important***
Goto the menu InsertNameDefine
Name: ESum (or whatever name you want to use)
Refers to:

=EVALUATE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","+"))

OK out

Then:

E1 = 87563, 8930, 98279

Enter this formula in **F1** :

=ESum

...
My spreadsheet contains multiple numbers in one cell they are all
seperated
by a coma. Is there a formula that will add these numbers?

87563, 8930, 98279 are in one cell I'd like to have the total in another
colum, the total of numbers not the sum, e.g. 3

Thanks,
