I have the following question:
If, as here, you prepare your question as a reply to a previous

previous thread and may not be seen by possible helpers.
I have in column A value either a number, or string in the
format <NR>+<NR>, ...
Nauru? Norwich postcodes? National Rail? Noise reduction?
... in col B I want to calculate what's in Col A
e.g.:
10 10
12+72 84
33 33
66+72 138
So, I tired the formula =INDIRECT("="&A1) but I only get REF! What
am I doing wrong here, ...
Probably thinking INDIRECT() does something different from what it does.
... and how can I achieve what I want?
First solution: don't enter your data like that in the first place.
I don't think there is any simple method to do what you ask in a
general fashion. If, as you suggest, the operator is always "+", you could use
=IF(ISNUMBER(A1);A1;LEFT(A1;FIND("+";A1)-1)+MID(A1;FIND("+";A1)+1;99))
You could make this simpler if you knew that the numbers in the
expressions were always of two digits.
I trust this helps.
