calculate the sum of characters in a cell
Do you mean if you have "12345" in a cell you want 1+2+3+4+5?? In this case
this formula array entered (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) will work: =SUM(--MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1)) If this isn't what you wanted try explaining a little better or posting some examples. -- Regards, Dave "Nat" wrote: calculate the sum of characters in a cell |

calculate the sum of characters in a cell
Should numerical values and symbols be counted as well, e.g. should the 1,8,3
and "-" be counted in "A1FD-83"? If so all you need is =LEN(A1) If not you need something a little more complicated. I see you said "alphabetical characters" so here is an example counting only the values appearing in the English alphabet (A through Z): =SUMPRODUCT(--(CODE(UPPER(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1)) )=65),--(CODE(UPPER(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1)) )<=90)) If this is still not what you wanted please post some examples. -- Regards, Dave "Nat" wrote: Thank you for your reply I'm looking to calculate how much alphabetical characters I have in each cell "David Billigmeier" wrote: Do you mean if you have "12345" in a cell you want 1+2+3+4+5??

calculate the sum of characters in a cell
Is there a way to count the numerical values and symbols and even spaces
except the spaces after the sentence? "David Billigmeier" wrote: Should numerical values and symbols be counted as well, e.g. should the 1,8,3 and "-" be counted in "A1FD-83"?

calculate the sum of characters in a cell
What sentence are you talking about? Is that the contents of your cell? If
so, is the end of your sentence a period? Do you want just numerical, symbols and spaces counted? Or do you want alphabetic characters counted as well (e.g. A through Z)? So many questions, I am confused again what you mean, sorry. Please post a couple of examples... -- Regards, Dave "Nat" wrote: Is there a way to count the numerical values and symbols and even spaces except the spaces after the sentence?

calculate the sum of characters in a cell
I had exported into excel some data, every cell has 15 characters if not live
character then the system will fill it up with spaces now I want to get rip of the spaces but only from the spaces that the system put in to fill up the 15 characters not the spaces that are between the words "David Billigmeier" wrote: What sentence are you talking about?
