    Question Placeing a Letter in front of a #.

    Is there a formula that I can use to place a letter in front of a number and still have it add. I am working on a custom vacation and sick day spread sheet and I need to add a v if it is a vacation day and a s if it a sick day, ie v7.5 or s4(#represents # of hours) and then I need it to add all the s's and v's separately.

    do you have to add it to the actual number - could you not use another column to identify the type
    the a SUMIF()
    would add the numbers based on the new column

    can I send you a attachment of what I am trying to do. Adding a another column would not work because of the size.
    Thanks
