Altering the original sheets as little as possible i used =LEFT(cell ref,1) This seemed to work, except the values returned aren't seen by vlookup and can not be summed (but can be added) and don't work in a graph. Maybe its something to do with text rather than number values?

Exactly so.

Any suggestions

Either:
use =VALUE(LEFT(B3;1)) in place of =LEFT(B3;1) - and probably format the cells suitably
or:
use =SUM(VALUE(C3:C9)) instead of =SUM(C3:C9). But this needs to be an array formula, so you need to use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to complete it instead of plain Enter. The formula will appear in the Input Line with braces: {=SUM(VALUE(C3:C9))} - but you cannot type those braces yourself.

I trust this helps.
