Looking for a formula to perform this additions
I have the following: G308=4A, H308=4P, I308=3A and J308=2P and so on for
that row. Now I want the following to happen: G338=4, H338=4, I338=7 (4+3, the number part of G308 and the number part of I308) and J338=6 (4+2, the number part of H308 and the number part of J308) I got a formula that would do the additions for me, array-entered, =$F5+SUM(IF(MOD(COLUMN($G$5:G$5),2)=MOD(COLUMN(G5) ,2),$G5:G5,0)) if I didn't have the As and Ps in row 308. But what I really need is something similar that would take into account the As and Ps. Any ideas. Thanks |

Now I want the following to happen: G338=4, H338=4, I338=7 (4+3, the number part of G308 and the number part of I308) and J338=6 (4+2, the number part of H308 and the number part of J308) If the number before the letter is always one digit, then: G338: =--left(G308,1) H338: =--left(H308,1) I338: =G338 + left(I308,1) J338: =H338 + left(J308,1) Alternatively, if the number before the letter might have multiple digits, but the right-hand text is always a single letter, then replace LEFT(G308,1) with LEFT(G308,LEN(308)-1), and similarly for the other LEFT expressions. I got a formula that would do the additions for me, array-entered, =$F5+SUM(IF(MOD(COLUMN($G$5:G$5),2)=MOD(COLUMN(G5) ,2),$G5:G5,0)) if I didn't have the As and Ps in row 308. But what I really need is something similar that would take into account the As and Ps. I don't see how that formula relates to the first part of the question, so I don't know how to fix it so that it accommodates the As and Ps. ----- original message ----- "Ayo" wrote in message ...

G308=4A, H308=4P, I308=3A and J308=2P
take into account the As and Ps. Do the cells *always* contain a single digit followed by a letter? Are there any empty cells in the range?

Looking for a formula to perform this additions
I would be some empty cells in the range and yes, it will only be A and P and
the cells could be any number of digits, i.e, it could be 24A or 124A, 3P or 344P. I am trying to do a cumulative addition based on whether the cell value ends in A or P and also adding all the previous cells. "T.

Looking for a formula to perform this additions
Assuming that *every* cell that contains a letter P or A *also* contains a
number. Try one of these array formula** : =SUM(IF(RIGHT(A1:H1)="P",--SUBSTITUTE(A1:H1,"P",""))) =SUM(IF(RIGHT(A1:H1)="P",--LEFT(A1:H1,LEN(A1:H1)-1))) The difference in these formulas is that the first one assumes the letter in the cell will *always* be an upper case letter. In the second formula it doesn't matter what case the letter is. ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Ayo" wrote in message ...

Thanks Valko. I think it works but the cell is only show TRUE. How do I get
it to show the result of the SUM(), which in this case is 16? "T. Valko" wrote: Assuming that *every* cell that contains a letter P or A *also* contains a number.

Hmmm... The formulas I posted will *never* return TRUE. Post the *exact* formula you tried. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Ayo" wrote in message ... Thanks Valko.

Thanks. I figured out what the problem was; I had two formulas in the same
cell. That was why I was getting that error. Thank you so much. "T. Valko" wrote: the cell is only show TRUE. Hmmm... The formulas I posted will *never* return TRUE.
