Take a text string from a cell and add them together to get a single value

[standardexceluser]

in excel i have a vba code that gives values in cell H9 as a string in the following format: "2709.504, 10012.464, 16052.4" and i want to be able to in the cell over (I9) preform =2709.504+ 10012.464+16052.4. and give 28744.368.

how would i be able to do this in excel or vba.

thanks

Try :-

[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG07Jun35
[I9] = Evaluate(Replace([H9], ",", "+"))
 '[COLOR="Green"][B]Or[/B][/COLOR]
 [I9].Formula = "=" & (Replace([H9], ",", "+")) & ""
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]

Formula solution but it's fugly:

Book1
	H	I
9	2709.504, 10012.464, 16052.4	28774.37
10	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9	45
11	1.2, 1.8	3
Sheet1

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
I9	{=SUM(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(H9,", ",REPT(" ",LEN(H9))), (ROW(OFFSET($A$1,0,0,(LEN(H9)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(H9,", ","")))/2+1))-1)*LEN(H9)+1, LEN(H9)))+0)}
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter array formulas.

Although it does beg the question that if you're VBA is generating this in H9, why not just adapt that code to add up the values and put it in I9?

i tried putting in your excel code and it only gave the first value of the string, (2709.504). and the values and the amount of numbers in h9 can change after every run of the program so im not really sure how to write a code or formula to take a X number of values in a string and add them all together. maybe i entered it wrong, not sure.

ex:

X, X, X,......X

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

1.2, 1.8

<thead>
[TH="align: center"][/TH]
[TH="align: center"]H[/TH]

</thead><tbody>
[TD="align: center"]9[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]X+X+X+X+.....+X[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]10[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]45[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]11[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]3[/TD]

</tbody>

Formula solution but it's fugly:

Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}.
Note: Do not try and enter the {} manually yourself[/TD]
