Default How do I sum cells that have values from a text formula?

Glad i could help and thanks for the feedback

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Hi,

Let's say the formula to sum are in a1 & B1, try this

=SUMPRODUCT(A1:B1+0)

Extend the range A1:B1 as required

I have a row of this formula: =TEXT(D6-D5,"h")

The only difference in the cells of the row are the referring cells.

When I sum them up, and just get a 0. So I figure I have to use a formula
that counts the resulting values of other formulas, but I cannot find it in
the help system.

=SUM(B7:H7) <---- results in a 0 no matter what the values of the cells
are.
