I have data in cells that are number values and string values. The String values are #_ # with the # being any number. Example:
3
2
1_4
3
4
2_10

<tbody>
</tbody>

I want to SUM (3,1,4) and (2,3,2)

Here is what I have (Using Ctrl+Shift+Enter):
Code:
=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(IF(ISTEXT(L31:L38), L31:L38, 0),IFERROR(SEARCH("_",L31:L38),0))-1))

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Try must use Ctrl+Shift+Enter
Code:
=SUM(IFERROR(LEFT(L31:L33,SEARCH("_",L31:L33)-1)+0,L31:L33))

left and search give a text as result
use VALUE to convert to a number

Rich (BB code):
=sumproduct(if(isnumber(l31:l38),l31:l38;value(left(l31:l38,search("_",l31:l38)-1))))

All of your suggestions worked! This seemed to be the most simplest way to accomplish what I was going for. Didn't even think about making it a decimal number and just pulling the integer. This avoids using the function as an array too!

Thanks to all who responded.
