I have cells where there is text and money amounts. I want to extract the money amounts into another cell and if possible, even add the amounts together and give me the total.
Here are couple examples of how it is entered in a cell:
Example 1:
$20,000.00 - Adverse Effect - PAID; $63,000.00 - Tree Loss - PAID; $10,000.00 - Access - PAID; $5,000.00 - Appraisal - PAID; $5,000.00 - Hay Loss - PAID; $5,000.00 - Disturbance - PAID; $5,000.00 - LO Time - PAID; $5,000.00 - Severance - PAID

Example 2:
$12,000.00 - Loss of shelter belt
$7,000.00 - Timber loss
$2,500.00 - Moving equipment
$1,500.00 - Crop loss

Looking for the money to be extracted out so it looks like this: $20,000.00; $63,000.00; $10,000.00; and so on. If possible it would be great to just get the sum of all amounts because my end goal is to pull out the money amount and add together so that I can get a total for all of my rows.

I should point out that not all money is entered the same. There may not be the $ or the .00 or the comma.

If anyone has an idea on if I can do this it would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
1) could you add more few samples with money amount without $, without ".00"?
2) Any value within text string, all are treated as money amount?
i.e, "Blah blah5000 , $1000, $2,000, $3,000.00 blah 500 blah"
result = $11,500.00?

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Hi
Couple more example types:
Example:
$10,000.00 - Tree loss
Example:
$30,000 - Fencing
Example:
$1000 - Fencing
Example
$3,600.00 - Access Road - PAID; $5,000 - Time/Inconv - PAID; $66,691.20 - Timber - PAID; $5,769.58 - Professional Services (#3) - PAID

I reviewed further and it looks like all money does have the $. Looks like just the comma and .00 are the issue.

Yes, if there is a way to extract as you say above to get the total that would be awesome. Then I can do this in just one step.

Thanks,

You could test this user-defined function. To implement ..
1. Right click the sheet name tab and choose "View Code".
2. In the Visual Basic window use the menu to Insert|Module
3. Copy and Paste the code below (you can use the icon at the top right of the code pane below) into the main right hand pane that opens at step 2.
4. Close the Visual Basic window.
5. Enter the formula as shown in the screen shot below and copy down. You could format that column with $/commas/decimal places as desired
6. Your workbook will need to be saved as a macro-enabled workbook (*.xlsm)

VBA Code:
Function SumDollars(s As String) As Double
  SumDollars = Evaluate(Replace(Replace(Join(Filter(Split(Replace("$0 " & s, vbLf, " ")), "$"), "+"), "$", ""), ",", ""))
End Function

Or, alternative for excel older than version 2019:
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Function summary(ByVal cell As Range)
Dim s, i&, k&, num, val, comb, sum As Double
s = Split(cell.Value, "$")
For i = 1 To UBound(s)
    k = 0: val = 0: comb = ""
    num = Replace(s(i), ",", "")
    Do While IsNumeric(val) Or val Like "."
        k = k + 1
        val = Mid(num, k, 1)
        comb = comb & val
    Loop
    sum = sum + CDbl(comb)
Next
summary = sum
End Function

Does that imply that some part of my suggestion is not compatible with older versions?

For a looping version I would consider

VBA Code:
Function DollarSum(s As String) As Double
  Dim itm As Variant
 
  For Each itm In Split(Replace(s, ",", ""), "$")
    DollarSum = DollarSum + Val(itm)
  Next itm
End Function
