I saw an old post where with the below formula to extract numbers from a string containing alphanumeric values - something like "p2, e(3), 15ip"

This will return: 2315.

My question is, can this be modified to return the sum of these numbers, i.e. 20? And can A1 be a range of cells where all the resulting numbers are added up?

Code:
B1: =SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&A1,LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(--MID(A1,ROW($1:$25),1))*
ROW($1:$25),0),ROW($1:$25))+1,1)*10^ROW($1:$25)/10)

Thanks in advance!

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Hi,

Like this?
Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&A1,LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(--MID(A1,ROW($1:$25),1))*ROW($1:$25),0),ROW($1:$25))+1,1)+0)

Hi
Excel Formula:
=SUM(--TEXTSPLIT(TRIM(CONCAT(TEXT(MID(A1,SEQUENCE(99),1),"0,,0, ")))," "))

Hi! Thanks for the help. This one is not adding the last number properly. I'm getting 11. It looks like it's adding only the single numbers. The sum should be 2+3+15 =20.

Thank you for the formula. My version of Excel (2016) doesn't seem to include the SEQUENCE function. So, I'm getting an error.

Aahh you are looking for 15, not 1+5. Sorry. I don't know. Maybe you should wait for other replies.

Right. The numbers that are together have to be treated as a single value. Thanks for the help though!

You should update your profile to reflect the version of Excel you are using.

Try this in your copy of XL365...
Excel Formula:
=SUM(0+TEXTSPLIT(TRIM(CONCAT(IFERROR(0+MID(A1,SEQUENCE(LEN(A1)),1)," ")))," "))

Your profile is showing you have XL365, XL2021 and XL2007... where did the XL2016 come from????
