Is this possible with Excel formula (not Visual Basic).

Extract first number in blue cells and divide by second number.
Sum cells.


Output would be sum(0.25/0.025, 0.5/0.1, 0.4/0.02) = 35.

Number of cells is a variable.

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
try this:

Is it possible to increase complexity of this awoohaw.

For the example below, I tried the formula, but doesn't work.
Excel Formula:
=SUM(TEXTAFTER(TEXTBEFORE(A2:A4,")",2),"(",2)/TEXTAFTER(TEXTBEFORE(A2:A4,")",3),"/"))
+SUM(TEXTAFTER(TEXTBEFORE(A2:A4,")",5),"(",5)/TEXTAFTER(TEXTBEFORE(A2:A4,")",6),"/"))

The issue I think is referencing the second "/".

So, a couple things I think are wrong.
You didn't repeat the formula exactly on the 3rd row of the new question as you did in the first two rows.
Secondly, you needed to indicate you seek the second "/" for the second part of the formula.
