Add numbers from string values, excel












0














I have a table which has particular string values. SP-1, SP-2, SP-3,.. SP-8
and also V-4 and V-8. I want to add numbers present in the string. The string will be same (either SP- or V-). The numbers following the string will be different. The sum should be separate for each string type.



I have seen many solutions but not able to adapt them.



The table may contain empty cells. Hence I am unable to use Value function.



I want to check the entire table for all SP- strings and V- strings and have the sum of each type. I want to achieve this using formula and not macros. Can any of you help me with the formula

  • the table that I am referring is 31*12 size (basically calendar).Having an additional column is last option. I can of course use sumif when this additional column is added for each of existing column. I used below formula. But value is resulting in #Value error because of empty cells from VALUE function.{=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(AJ10,$E$19:E30)),VALUE(RIGHT(E19:E30,FIND(AJ10,E19:E30)-1)),0)). }

Use this array formula:



=SUM(IFERROR(--SUBSTITUTE($A$1:$A$6,C1&"-",""),0))


Being an array formula it needs be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.

Try the following User Defined Function:



Public Function SpecialAdder(rng As Range, p As String) As Variant
Dim L As Long, r As Range
If p = "" Then
SpecialAdder = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(rng)
Exit Function
End If

SpecialAdder = 0
L = Len(p)
For Each r In rng
If Left(r.Value, L) = p Then
SpecialAdder = SpecialAdder + Mid(r.Value, L + 1)
End If
Next r
End Function


It would be used in the worksheet like:



=specialadder(A1:A100,"SP-")
