Multiply Cell Values which include text units
I have a formula in cell G13 that shows "=B13*C13". Is there a way that i
can multiply cell B13 which has a number format and reads "61 Units" to cell C13 which has a currency format and contains "34.23 / Ea" to get a value of $2,088.03 shown in cell G13? I don't know if I can show text in the cell that is being referenced in a formula. Can you show text in a cell that is being referenced in a formula without receiving the "#value!" in the formula cell? Thanks.

Try
=SUBSTITUTE(B13," Units","")*SUBSTITUTE(C13," / Ea","") -- HTH Bob "DaveR" wrote in message ... I have a formula in cell G13 that shows "=B13*C13".

If you use a custom format to combine text and numbers than you can calculate
on the cells as normal. I am guessing that you already have your information typed and that it varies. Depending on how consistant the data is entered it can be done with a formula combinging left and seek. I think you would be better served to use the custom format option "DaveR" wrote: I have a formula in cell G13 that shows "=B13*C13".

Thank you for the direction.
I Custom formatted the cell TYPE: $0.00" / EA" and it worked. "pmartglass" wrote: If you use a custom format to combine text and numbers than you can calculate on the cells as normal.

But yours is a better way. I also thought of suggesting that, but just
decided to give him a 'straight' answer :-) -- HTH Bob "pmartglass" wrote in message ...
