I have been trying to find a way to add the values in cells, but the cells contain text as well as numbers. The sheet is to calculate overtime. i can get it to count the cells with the text in it and from there i multiply by 12 to get the hours worked, but i need to add number to the same cell in the case that person does not work 12 hours see example:
17 oct to 16 november overtime.xlsm

RangeFormula
C12:F12,C1:F1C1=B1+1
B13:F13,B2:F2B2=TEXT(B1,"ddd")
B12B12=F1+1
E23E23=SUM(COUNTIF($B$3:$F$6,"*"&C23&"*"),COUNTIF($B$8:$F$10,"*"&C23&"*"),COUNTIF($B$15:$F$17,"*"&C23&"*"),COUNTIF($B$19:$F$21,"*"&C23&"*"))
F23F23=E23*12

Person A worked 2 days ( one he worked for 12 hours and next 8 hours the total should be 10 but my calculation gives me 24. ( 2 days *12)
i need it to add the hours worked based on the persons name and hours inserted. if no hours inserted it should default to 12.
a formula i tried does not work, it reads false and reverts to days worked *12.
the formula ( was on different sheet) the ranges are 4 different ranges
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(C33;SearchRng));VALUE(LEFT(SearchRng;FIND(C33;SearchRng)-1));E33*12))

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
What you are trying to do could be done with a massively convoluted formula that would be almost impossible to debug. I suggest you have two columns for each date. Left column is the person's name, right column is the hours. Then F23 would contain 5 SUMIFS functions (one for each pair of columns) along the lines of =SUMIFS(C3:C22,B3:B22,F23) + SUMIFS(... This assumes that you have inserted the additional columns and what is in your example as column C would then be column D. I prefer to use SUMIFS even though there is only one criteria because it puts the sum range first instead of last like SUMIF which means if you want to add a second criteria later you just add it at the end instead of have to re-jig the whole thing changing from SUMIF to SUMIFS.
