I'm trying to multiply the first number by the second number in a cell that has a "d" between them. Sometimes the number has more than a single number.
for instance
2d6 would = 12
12d8 would =96
dealing with a concatenate function to add text before the formula
(e.g.) CONCATENATE("final damage ",SUM(Cell 1, Cell 2, and whatever function to figure out what is needed for the math))
hi there. not sure which cell are you looking at. single or multiple? single:
=LEFT(B1,FIND("d",B1)-1)*MID(B1,FIND("d",B1)+1,5)
multiple:
=SUMPRODUCT(LEFT(B1:B22,FIND("d",B1:B22)-1)*MID(B1:B22,FIND("d",B1:B22)+1,5))
you can then combine with your concatenate. if this doesn't help, let us know what results you wish to see for an eg & how you got that
Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.
