hi, !

I'm trying to add cells WITH numbers but they have letters (alphanumerical).
Example: A B C D E Total of sick days (S) Total vacations (L)
L2.3 S3 W L3.3 - ..... 3 5.5
L1.2 - - - - 1.2
I'd like to sum just numbers of previous cells of A to E and total them at the last columns.


sick days: =sum(if(left(a2:e2,1)="s",--mid(a2:e2,2,10)))
vacations: =sum(if(left(a2:e2,1)="l",--mid(a2:e2,2,10)))

... if conditional formula may concider like the W letter but with a specific value like 7.2 and add it to a previos total.


(i.e.) =countif(a2:e2,"w")*7.2

The same for S and L.


try with something like above and...

if any doubt (or further information)... would you please comment ?
regards,
hector.


The formula =SUM(IF(LEFT(C51:N51,1)="s",--MID(C51:N51,2,10)))=COUNTIF(A2:E2,"s")*7.2 shows #VALUE! with CSE or without =countif...

The other one;
=SUM(IF(LEFT(A1:D1)="S",IF(ISNUMBER(--MID(A1:D1,2,10)),--MID(A1:D1,2,10))))
enter with CSE shows or add only S with numbers, but no just the S alone
which must be included in the formula for the value of 7.5.
If I have in the 2 Row, S3.5 in A2, and S in C2, and other letter meaning
for vacation "L" in E2, it should end up counting just the S including those
alphanumerical and exclude other letters. So the result must be 11. I hope
this time I expressed it better.

I posted the table I'm trying to finished hardly so far, and you
may see it on:

I hope might be helpful illustrated with laterals explanations and questions.
