How can I sum all the values in a range of cells where the cells contain either a number or text and a number. Please note the following example?

C17=9
D17=4
E17=8TD
F17=3TP
G17=7

I want the total of 31 but excel will ignore the cells with text.

Can you help me please?
Thanks
 
Neither worked. I think I gave bad example. I tried using the above but entering a symbol instead of ad. I have something similar working earlier it counted the numbers with just the symbol ignored other numbers with different symbols but it included numbers with no symbols.

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
