Hi David, thank you for replying I have been trying to figure this formula
out for days now... I am creating a worksheet for sick and vacation
leaves.... v8 will be keyed in a column if the person is in vacation leave or
s8 for sick leave (8 for 8hours) and I need to total how many vacation hours
did the person take in one column hence, v8 + v8 = v16. And more importantly
I need to only count the v's and s's to sum up.... I am sorry if i dont make
myself clear...

Firstly, please ask your question in the body of the message rather than
just in the subject line.

Secondly, you'll need to explain what you mean by
v8(col a), v8(col b), and v16(col c)

Hi David,

I tried the formula you gave me but it doesnt sum up the number of hours....
it only shows v0.... Thank you for replying

Would it help if I send you my worksheet? In a row, lets say row 5, I have
the name of the employee on col A5, v8 on col B5, s8 on C5 and v8 on D5...
will it total to v16 (vacation hours) in a different col? and total s8 (sick
hours) in a different column?

Hi David....

I do need your help, let me explain it to you better, sorry if I confused
you, I can better illustrate it:
col A col B col C Col D Col E
Col F Col G Col H
row 1 First Name Last Name v8 v8 sat sun
v8 = V24

How do I get the formula to come up with the total vacation hours on Column H?
Thanks for your help...

Try this array formual** :

Assumes that every cell that contains a "V" is *always* followed by a
number.

="v"&SUM(IF(LEFT(C2:G2)="V",--MID(C2:G2,2,5)))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)
