Sum of Values appearing in one single cell

Hi Everyone,

I am struggling with one formula to SUM of all the numbers given in a single cell, separated by few special characters. In B2 and B3, it's giving correct answers but not in rest of the cells.

'=SUM(IF(ISERR(VALUE(MID(A2,ROW($A$1:OFFSET($A$1,LEN(A2)-1,0)),1))),0,VALUE(MID(A2,ROW($A$1:OFFSET($A$1,LEN(A2)-1,0)),1))))

I have also tried to substitute the special characters with plus (+) sign but that converted to text, now not sure how to add them.

Please see attached file.

Regards,

With your dataset you can try below formula. It is ARRAY formula so you need to use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER:

=SUM(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(","&A2&REPT(",0",9),"""",""),",",REPT(" ",99)),":",REPT(" ",99)),99*ROW($A$1:$A$9),99))+0)

It will handle up to 9 delimited values. If you have more then red colored portion needs to be adjusted.

Green colored construct needs to be added if your dataset has more delimiter types.
