Sum / count data from text string with delimiter
I would like to be able to sum numbers from a segment of a text string. The
cells of data are in a row. The data looks like the following: 1x1.5 21x9 3x2 In one formula I need to sum the numbers prior to the "x". In a different formula I need to sum the numbers after the "x". The number of digits is not a fixed length but the "x" consistently delimits the numbers. In addition I need to count the number of unique values prior to the "x". I've searched for the method to do this but I can not fine how. I would appreciate any help on this. |

Sum / count data from text string with delimiter
With
A1:A10 containing values of the form "numberXnumber" or blanks (no regular text) Try something like this: The sum of the values preceding the "X" =SUMPRODUCT(--TRIM("0"&LEFT(A1:A10&"0",SEARCH("X",A1:A10&"X")-1))) The sum of the values following the "X" =SUMPRODUCT(--TRIM("0"&MID(A1:A10,SEARCH("X",A1:A10&"X")+1,255)) ) The count of unique values preceding the "X" =SUM(N(FREQUENCY(--TRIM("0"&LEFT(A1:A10&"0",SEARCH("X",A1:A10&"X")-1)),--TRIM("0"&LEFT(A1:A10&"0",SEARCH("X",A1:A10&"X")-1)))0))-(COUNTBLANK(A1:A10)0) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "J" wrote: I would like to be able to sum numbers from a segment of a text string.

Sum / count data from text string with delimiter
One more twist. I need to be able to sum numbers after the x provided the
number before the x = 1. If cells A1:Z1 have the following type of information: 1x1.5 21x9 3x2 (Some of these cells are null) In cell AA1, sum the values to the right of the x whose number to the left of the x is 1, in cell AB1 sum the values to the right of the x whose number to the left of the x is 2... Thanks again for the great help.
