As long as your data has a *single* alpha character, and no spaces,
you could create a "helper" column to extract the numeric data,
and then just total that helper column.

With original data starting in A1,
try this in B1:

=IF(A10,--REPLACE(A1,MIN(SEARCH(
{"a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l"," m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y" ,"z"},
A1&"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")),1,""),"")

And copy down as needed.
Then Sum Column B.

400
I need to add the rows the problem that I am running into is that it does
not recognize the number because of the alpha included in the number
I hope this explains it a little better

I have a simmilar problem. I need to count rows with combinations of
letters
and alpha i.e. 45A111 + 45A222 should equal 90333. I need the formula
to
exclude the numeric factor.

Please advice

Maybe this:

=COUNTA(D61:J61)

That will return the count of cells in the range that are not
empty.
