Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Try :-
Code:
[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG07Jun35
[I9] = Evaluate(Replace([H9], ",", "+"))
 '[COLOR="Green"][B]Or[/B][/COLOR]
 [I9].Formula = "=" & (Replace([H9], ",", "+")) & ""
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]

92709.504, 10012.464, 16052.428774.37
101, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 945
111.2, 1.83

Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
I9{=SUM(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(H9,", ",REPT(" ",LEN(H9))), (ROW(OFFSET($A$1,0,0,(LEN(H9)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(H9,", ","")))/2+1))-1)*LEN(H9)+1, LEN(H9)))+0)}
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter array formulas.

Although it does beg the question that if you're VBA is generating this in H9, why not just adapt that code to add up the values and put it in I9?

i tried putting in your excel code and it only gave the first value of the string, (2709.504). and the values and the amount of numbers in h9 can change after every run of the program so im not really sure how to write a code or formula to take a X number of values in a string and add them all together. maybe i entered it wrong, not sure.

ex:



X, X, X,......X
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
1.2, 1.8

<thead>
[TH="align: center"][/TH]
[TH="align: center"]H[/TH]

</thead><tbody>
[TD="align: center"]9[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]X+X+X+X+.....+X[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]10[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]45[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]11[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]3[/TD]

</tbody>
