Default calculate the sum of characters in a cell

Can you elaborate? What do you mean? roman numerals? Adding the number of
letters in a cell? Can you give us an example of your data?

I think you mean the sum of the digits in the cell, correct?

E.g., if the cell reads 1345, you'd want it to return 13...

This macro will help you:

FWIW, in Excelese, this formula could provide the COUNT of the number of
characters in a cell, rather than their SUM..........

FWIW is not an excel function. It means "for what it's worth."
