Re: [libreoffice-users] Sum of multiple cells substring

Hi again,
I modified the formula to suit my spreadsheet to 
{=SUM(IF(LEFT(B46:AE46,2)="OT",VALUE(MID(B46:AE46,3,99)),0))}. It works 
beautifully but, in some instances it will render an Err:502.
One of said instances is this:
OT8 	HF8 	OT8 	OT2 	OT1 	OT0,5 	OT8 	OT8 	OT8 	OT5 	OT6 	OT5 	OT6 
OT5 	OT5 	OT8 	OT5 	OT6 	OT3 	OT8 	OT8 	OT4 	OT8 	OT8 	OT5 	OT1 	OT5 
OT4 	OT8 	OT8


Is the HF8 the one to blame?

Thanks again.
