[Solved] Sum of numbers that have a letter in the cell

Post by awascholl »

I'm trying to see if I can sum up numbers in a cell if there's a qualifier. For instance, can I place letter in the cell and have my sum function only add up those, and another sum function add up the unqualified numbers?

Add a column and use SUMIF(), otherwise it will be to complicated.

LibreOffice is still rather rapidly developed.
LO 3.3. was nearly identical to OO.o or AOO V3.
Now we have the stable version 25.2.7 with lots of new features and bugfixes and 25.8 is under ongoing development.

Concerning the topic:
There is an additional example containing some suggestions and explanations:
