adding cells after stripping numbers out of text fields
I have a time sheet where I want to add the last 3 characters in each of
the cells (numbers) to get a grand total for the row. Here's a sample: WED THUR FRI SAT SUN TOTAL N3 - 7.5 N3 - 7.5 N3 - 7.5 N3 - 7.5 If I treat the 5 columns as A to E, the total in cell F2 might be the formula =value(right(A2,3))+value(right(B2,3))+value(right (C2,3))+value (right(D2,3))+value(right(E2,3)) The problem is that the cell B2 (THUR) is blank so Excel interprets this as an error. Can anyone offer me a formula that will work if it is blank? I also will have a total of 14 cells to add (2 weeks) - this is just a sample. It will also not do to place 0's in the empty cells, it's too ugly. TIA! Alan |
