Let me ask you a couple of quick questions to make sure I fully understand your problem.
Excelchat Expert 28/09/2018 - 03:40
Based on what you shared, I understand that if a cell contains 35, then the formula should give the result 8 (3+5)
Excelchat Expert 28/09/2018 - 03:40
Do you believe that will address your problem?
User 28/09/2018 - 03:40
YES
Excelchat Expert 28/09/2018 - 03:42
=VALUE(Left(D4,1)) + VALUE(RIGHT(D4,1))
Excelchat Expert 28/09/2018 - 03:42
This formula will help you with it
Excelchat Expert 28/09/2018 - 03:42
It assumes that the value is in D4 cell
