Thank you for the response.
The source needs to be read only, are you suggesting to copy over the columns into my new file, and then add a helper column?
If so, then I guess I can create a macro to copy over all columns needed from data.xlsm to Tally.xlsm, then another to simply strip the numbers from the text.
Example of a macro I copied and tested to remove text from numbers here:

Of course, your helper column looks like a great way to use native formulas when the extraction is similar, and may be a preferred method.
Strikethrough was used to show a cancelled order existed, but the history was still needed.
If data was copied, I could check for strikethrough and multiply the number with -1 and sum as needed, but will need a function to do this.
Would this be an appropriate method?
