How do I find the sum of all digits in a number?

[monkeyforce5]

How do I get Excel to return the sum of all digits in a number?
For example if i have the number 1234, i want excel to do the following
calculation:
1+2+3+4 and return the value 10. I need to know how to do this for any
number of any size.

Here's one way, with your number in A1:

=SUMPRODUCT(1*MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1))

Thanks Ron that formula works perfectly. The reason i was doing this is
because i was looking at the sum of digits of all multiples of 9. It creates
a very interesting pattern.

Ron, it still works...

Assuming your numbers will never contain more than 15 digits, you could use this formula as well...

=SUMPRODUCT(0+(0&MID(A1,ROW(1:15),1)))

I would use Data > TextToColumns > Fixed, to separate the digits into
individual columns and then just SUM those cells.......
