Hello all,

I am somewhat of a novice at Excel but have been dabbling in it over the past few years learning on my own.
I have made monthly report for employees at work to include rows of cells for hours worked each day and time off used each day (vacation, personal, sick, etc). If you see in the first picture below, duty hours will always just be a number equalling the number of hours worked. The "other" hours would be listed as the number of hours taken off of work along with a letter indicating what type of time was used to take off... ex: 4 hours vacation time would be 4V, 4 hours personal time would be 4P and so on. I have figured out the macro that I needed to be able to add cells that include text using sum_only_numbers which works well for adding horizontally and vertically.
At the bottom of my worksheet i have cells for the total amount of Vacation, Personal, Sick time etc. used for the month. I am trying to figure out how to make a formula for each cell under Personal, Sick, Vacation etc in picture #2 to add the cells in picture #1 automatically determined by the letter used 4P, 4V, 4S etc. I have found numerous formulas but none seem to work.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
How about something like the following (which also doesn't use VBA for the total line):

Book1
ABCDEFGHIJ
1Shift
2Duty133 E
3Other10 S2 V2 S24 V
4Other1 S2 S5 S4 V
5Total1120220583
6
7
8S - SickE- EducationV - Vacation
920310
Sheet3
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
B5:J5B5=SUM(IFERROR(0+TEXTBEFORE(B2:B4," "),0))
B9:D9B9=SUM(IFERROR(0+TEXTBEFORE($B$2:$J$5," "&LEFT(B8,1)),0))


Made an edit for 2-digit number possibilities.

Sorry about the error in previous post (#2). I think think this is now correct and has the total for each row.

B5:K5B5=SUM(IFERROR(ISNUMBER(B2:B4)*B2:B4,0))+SUM(IFERROR(0+TEXTBEFORE(B2:B4," "),0))
B9:D9B9=SUM(IFERROR(0+TEXTBEFORE($B$2:$J$5," "&LEFT(B8,1)),0))
