    Exclamation Cannot Sum Numbers :(

    I tried to sum below numbers.
    IT's in YEN.
    It says sum is "0"

    " * " is problem in this web site. There is no * between numbers

    2*111*000¥
    2*111*000¥
    2*098*000¥
    2*092*000¥
    2*098*000¥
    2*051*000¥
    2*101*000¥
    2*104*000¥
    2*093*000¥
    2*083*000¥

    Re: Cannot Sum Numbers :(

    You have to remove all of the * between the numbers and the ¥. So do the following please.

    Assume your data begins in A1 paste this formula into B1 and copy all the way down.

    =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"*",""),"¥","")

    Now copy all of the data in Column B and paste Special the values to another column

    Select all of the values and Press Ctrl + 1 and format the cells to Currency and select Japanese Yen.

    Now select the whole column and Go to Data → Text to Column and press finished.

    Now you should be able to Auto Sum.

    Assuming your actual data looks like this...
    C
    1
    2111000¥
    2
    2111000¥
    3
    2098000¥
    4
    2092000¥
    5
    2098000¥
    6
    2051000¥
    7
    2101000¥
    8
    2104000¥
    9
    2093000¥
    10
    2083000¥


    Use this for the sum...
    =SUMPRODUCT(--LEFT(C1:C10,LEN(C1:C10)-1))

    Re: Cannot Sum Numbers :(

    The average would be...
    =SUMPRODUCT(--LEFT(C1:C10,LEN(C1:C10)-1))/COUNTA(C1:C10)

    Not sure what you mean by spaces though?
    something like this?
    C
    13
    2 111 000¥
    14
    2 111 000¥
    15
    2 098 000¥
    16
    2 092 000¥
    17
    2 098 000¥
    18
    2 051 000¥
    19
    2 101 000¥
    20
    2 104 000¥
    21
    2 093 000¥
    22
    2 083 000¥

    =SUMPRODUCT(--LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(C13:C22," ",""),LEN(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(C13:C22," ","")))-1))

    Re: Cannot Sum Numbers :(

    Highlight the range
    press CTRL H (find/replace)
    "Find" (space) - press the space bar
    "replace" nothing - leave blank
    OK

    You could actually do the same thing with the yen sign (copy, then paste into the Find/Replace. You could then just sum the numbers normally
