Default Summing cells that contain numbers and text

Hello-
I'm trying to sum columns that contain mostly number values, but that also
contain some occasional text. Excel, of course, ignores those cells that
contain text. I've noticed other users with similar questions, but I'm still
not getting it. The text does not have any quantitative value. It is merely a
visual tag that I want to print along with the number value. Is there a way
to make Excel ignore the text but still add the data? Perhaps a formula for
each cell that contains text + data that makes the SUM formula "see" only the
data for that cell? Please dumb it down for me, I'm new to Excel. Thanks.
