    Adding up numbers from one drop down cell to another

    Hi everyone I am new to this forum, I have been building a spreadsheet for tracking multiple employees, projects, Tasks and hours. I have validated columns and information and using macro in order to have multiple numbers in one cell in ascending order. In my hours cell I have lets say 3 different numbers like 1 and 2.5 and 3. My problem is I want all those numbers from that cell to add up automatically in another cell and I can't find anything online or anyone that can answer that question for me. Is there a formula or something I have to write in macro in order to do that or can this not be completed.
    I have attached my excel file with the issue on the second sheet with a little description.
    Thank you
    Tristan

    If that is a build number for Excel 365, maybe the formula:

    Yes!! I asked so many people and you solved it in less than two minutes. I was told it can't be done. I worked on it for three days. This is awesome!!
    Thank you very much.

    It would have been a lot more difficult if you didn't have 365
