I am trying to add numbers that have alpha characters at the end. I have
tried nesting the SUM and IF functions using FREQUENCY for unique values but, have been unsuccessful. Any suggestions please. |

You could use:
=VALUE(LEFT(A2,LEN(A2)-1)) to get the numbers (only) into another column, copy the formula down as necessary, then sum this column, assuming your data is in column A and there is only one character after the numerical part. An alternative is to try wrapping this into an array* formula: =SUM(VALUE(LEFT(A2:A100,LEN(A2:A100)-1))) I have assumed a range of A2 to A100 - adjust to suit your data. * As this is an array formula, then once you have typed it in (or subsequently edit it), you must use CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER instead of just ENTER to commit it. If you do this correctly, then Excel will wrap curly braces { } around the formula when viewed in the formula bar - you should not type these yourself. Hope this helps.
