Hi Folks,

I am trying to SUM figures with miles (mi) inside the same cell. I tried to use this already to disregard the miles unit but it gives me a #VALUE error.

=SUM(SUBSTITUTE(A2:A7, "mi", "") +0)

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
It works for me, did you Ctrl+Shift+Enter for an array formula?
Or maybe there's some other character in your data somewhere.
