How can I add several numbers in a cell.

For example: Cell A1 would contain the numbers 5,10,6,12,etc.

Each comma represents the end of a number and the start of a new one. How would I then add these 4 numbers in the same cell.
 

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Need more info.
Cells have just those 4 numbers? Or are there more numbers (based on your "etc." you typed)? Do you mean add as in arithmetic or add as in move to the cell?

A cell will have anywhere from 23 to 26 numbers entered in that particular cell. The addition is arithmetic add.

So 2,5,3,8 should give a result of 18... The formula is to be used throughout the worksheet

OK
Your saying it may have
18,12,8,2,15,36,44,21,15
And you want to add the 1st 4 numbers? or all numbers?

If it is all numbers, each number is separated by a comma correct?

Not the first four but all numbers within the cell, an dyes each number is separated by a comma.


Thanks for any help you can offer

Thanks alot...

Is there another way of doing this? The file will be used on different computers, and hence not everyone will have the morefunc add-in

I saw the following code used in past. It is not mine but I understand it to work.

I can do it with a custom function:


Code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Function Test(Rng As Range) As Variant 
    Test = Evaluate(Application.Substitute(Rng, ",", "+")) 
End Function 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------







Then type:

=Test(A1)

I try entering 2,3 in cell A1 on a new sheet, and I place the formula in cell b1 but get that error messages

Any suggestions
