Sum a range of numerics and non-numerics

Hopefully this is simple...
How do I sum a range of values containing numerics and non-numerics. I only want the total of the numeric cells.
Thanks,

It's simple. Just use, e.g.,
=SUM(A1:A10)

where A1:A10 houses numeric and non-numeric values (such as text or logicals like TRUE).

SUM ignores non-numeric values. That's why it should work.
