Counting sums

[EnfermYa]

Hi,

I am trying to create a formula that will count the numbers in each cell without counting the letters, for example;

2N 3N 4N 5N 6N the sum would be 5 but when I put the formula in place it would count 10.

Any ideas?

Excel 2010

	A	B	C	D
1	2N		# of Numbers Only	# of Characters
2	3N		5	10
3	4N
4	5N
5	6N

<colgroup><col style="width: 25pxpx"><col><col><col><col></colgroup><thead>
</thead><tbody>
</tbody>

Sheet1​

Array Formulas Cell Formula C2 {=COUNT(LEFT($A1:$A5,1)+0)} D2 {=SUM(LEN($A1:$A5))} <thead> </thead><tbody> </tbody> Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}. Note: Do not try and enter the {} manually yourself
