if you are only concerned about the length of the cell try:
= len(a1) + len(a2) + len(a3) + len(a4) hth Carlo On Nov 6, 10:44 am, Diego wrote: Subject: Tallying e.g. 111=3 How do I make a single cell add three 1s? Cell A1 has 11 Cell A2 has 111 Cell A3 has 1 Cell A4 has 1111 How do I get the sheet to create a total of 10? |

If you are sure there are only 1's in those cells, then you could use
LEN to count how many characters there are, eg: =LEN(A1) will return 2 =LEN(A2) will return 3, etc. So, you could put this formula in column B and copy down, and then sum column B to get the overall total. Hope this helps. Pete On Nov 6, 1:44 am, Diego wrote: Subject: Tallying e.g. 111=3 How do I make a single cell add three 1s?

Enter this in B1 then drag/copy down.
=SUMPRODUCT(--MID($A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:" & LEN($A1))),1)) Will SUM digits in the cells. Then enter =SUM(B:B) in C1 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Mon, 5 Nov 2007 17:44:01 -0800, Diego wrote: Subject: Tallying e.g. 111=3 How do I make a single cell add three 1s?
