Thanks Bob,
I have tried the formula and it doesn't return any results, is it possible
to make it add the numbers in the cells and return the figure. The array
of
cells I am talking about is cells covering a whole spreadsheet. The cells
will contain both numbers and text, it is the numbers I am interested in.



Biff's (T. Valko) idea is much better than mine. You can use his formula to
strip out all the numbers, one cell at a time and then add them up. I don't
know how to do it all at once with one formula.

The formula I came up with does work but I had a problem copying it from my
reply. In order to get it to work, it must be inserted as one continuous
line of code, not individual lines. I had to "reconnect" the code using one
backspace at each break. A little tricky but then it works fine.

Bob
