I download a text file from my bank's website and I want to add all the deposits. The problem is the excel download has the dollar amount and text in the same cell and I cannot add the number because it has text. This is creating an unnecessary step for me because to solve this I would retype the quantity on the B cell, and then I would add it with simple =sum(B1:B8). The problem is I have made mistakes with the retyping of numbers and it's tedious. Please help

Definitely use Aladin's solution if the word deposit is always in front of the trailing number. However, here is another possible single step solution in case the word deposit is not always in front of the trailing number...

=SUMPRODUCT(0+TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(B1:B7," ",REPT(" ",99)),99)))
