auto sum column containing words and numbers
I have one column of imported data that contains about 12000 rows of text and
numbers. I would like to find out the dollar total of the numbers only, BEFORE i start formatting the data (text to columns, etc). Because the dollar total will be in the the millions I would like to have a reference dollar total so that I know if I have made a mistake at anytime i.e. accidentally delete a row. Is it possible to find a sum first? Any help is greatly appreciated :) Trina |

So, all your data is in one column, and you have mixed number and text
fields in there? Here is a link to a post from a couple of days ago which covers the same situation: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...8acd232843c6a# Hope this helps.
