you can try this:

in cell a1 type any word you like…

in cell b1 type this :

=MID($A1;COLUMN()-1;1)

then drag it to the right… it’ll do the job.

greetings from Greece!

Use “Value” to convert Text to numbers and Sum will work.

Ranjith, I’m pretty sure that the reason for this is that you’re using the SUM function on text, not numbers. MID is a text function, so its results will be text.

if i open the xl sheet in xl 2007 then sum(b2:e2) is giving me a value of zero where as sum(mid(a2,1,1), mid(a2,2,1), mid(a2,3,1), mid(a2,4,1)) seems to be working.

Hi maria,

Thanks for the help. it worked out fine. I am facing an issue when trying to sum up all the split digits. its giving me a 0 (zero) in xl 2007. and its doesnt seem to be getting resolved. Hope its not one more of the xl bugs.
