Row 19 5K 13.0% 105K 13.5%

Row 20
=SUM((0&TRIM(MID(TRANSPOSE(SUBSTITUTE(C17:C20," "," ")),FIND("^^",SUBSTITUTE(TRANSPOSE(SUBSTITUTE(C17:C20," "," ")),"K","^^",ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&MAX(LEN(C17:C20)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C17:C20,"K",""))))))&REPT("000^^",MAX(LEN(C17:C20)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C17:C20,"K","")))))-3,3)))+0)


should total 215

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Sort by date Sort by votes
If it is not working as an array, it probably means that the formulas only use a reference, not a range.

That's a lot of formula for a little task.

Bad logic is returning an array of zero and negative values to the start position of the MID function.

Try (array formula)

=SUM(IF(RIGHT(C17:F20)="K",--SUBSTITUTE(C17:F20,"K","")))

I tried SUM(IF(RIGHT(C17:F20)="K",--SUBSTITUTE(C17:F20,"K",""))) this array and it does not work, in one cell I have multiple K's and % signs.

example cell C 17 would include 30K 12.5 100K 13.0% 5K 13.5%
cell c 18 would include 10K 13.5%

and I would like to just add up all the K values

any help is greatly appreciated

If you can put the data in individual cells then it would be a whole lot easier!

Array formula** entered in C21:

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("K",C17:F19)),--LEFT(C17:F19,LEN(C17:F19)-1)))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key
combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
then hit ENTER.

You can even use Text to Columns to parse it!

If you want to keep it in one cell then you need to ensure that all K values are 3 digits, the easiest way to do this is to fire 2 leading zeros to each of the numeric values in the string, i.e.

=SUM((0&TRIM(MID(TRANSPOSE("00"&SUBSTITUTE(C17:C20," "," 00")),FIND("^^",SUBSTITUTE(TRANSPOSE("00"&SUBSTITUTE(C17:C20," "," 00")),"K","^^",ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&MAX(LEN(C17:C20)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C17:C20,"K",""))))))&REPT("000^^",MAX(LEN(C17:C20)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C17:C20,"K","")))))-3,3)))+0)

As Biff said, it would be a lot easier if you parse the values to individual cells, I misread your original post and my previous suggestion was also based on that fact.
