Default text combined with values

Hi,

I wouldn't start from having numbers and letters in the same cell but if you
must

=LEFT(A1,1)&MID(A1,2,LEN(A1))+MID(A2,2,LEN(A2))

Why not use a custom format for the cell of

"s"0.0

Now you can sum them using sum

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