Find HW in a range and total the number that comes after an HW

[impuce]

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet that has numbers and "HW"numbers (HW02, HW07...) in the cells.
I need a formula that will find the HW in a range of cells and total the numbers that follows the HW.

I've tried this formula: SUMPRODUCT(TEXT(MID(B2:G9,FIND("HW",B2:G9&"HW")+2,3),"0;;;\0")) but it doesn't work. I've attached a sample image of what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about

=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(B2:G9,2)="HW")*(MID(B2:G9,3,100)))

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about

=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(B2:G9,2)="HW")*(MID(B2:G9,3,100)))

Thanks for the reply!
This gives me a #VALUE! error

In that case can you post some sample data.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.

Hi,
You could test

=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(B2:B9,2)="HW")*(RIGHT(B2:B9,2)*1))

Hi,
You could test

=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(B2:B9,2)="HW")*(RIGHT(B2:B9,2)*1))

Thank you! That worked. Much appreciated

Could you ever have a 3 digit number after the HW?

No only 2 digits

That's ok then.

Fluff is 100% right ...!!!

To be on the safe side

=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(B2:B9,2)="HW")*(SUBSTITUTE(B2:B9,"HW","")*1))
