How do I get Excel to return the sum of all digits in a number?
For example if i have the number 1234, i want excel to do the following
calculation:
1+2+3+4 and return the value 10. I need to know how to do this for any
number of any size.

Here's one way, with your number in A1:

=SUMPRODUCT(1*MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1 ))

I would use Data TextToColumns Fixed, to separate the digits into
individual columns and then just SUM those cells.......

Thanks Ron that formula works perfectly. The reason i was doing this is
because i was looking at the sum of digits of all multiples of 9. It creates
a very interesting pattern.
