    Counting numbers in cells which also contain letters, And viceversa

    Hi, unfortunately we have been writing spreadsheets with numbers and letters in them for years.

    Now I have 3 problems.

    1) To count the minutes that players have played in games

    2) to count the number of A's and R's for each player

    3) Finally, we have entries such as 90-1 in a cell. This represents the number of goals scored in a game. Games Minutes Cards and Goals.xlsxIs it possible to count the total amount of these numbers in a separate cell?

    Can anyone solee this problem or do we have alto of correcting to do?

    Can you upload a sample workbook also showing the desired output filled manually?

    In the attached sheet you have shown 90-1-A not 90-A-1. I have modified the formula assuming that you have 90-1-A as shown in the sheet.
