Sum 2 digit number in a single cell?

I need a way to calculate the sum of 2 digit number in a cell to another cell, for example:

A1 →       →  B1

24 <- 2+4  =   6

56 <- 5+6  =  11

21 <- 2+1  =   3

32 <- 3+2  =   5

And so… on. I am using Libreoffice calc.

Thank you

One way; in B1

=MID(A1,1,1)+MID(A1,2,1)

and drag down as far as you need. Note: this will only work for a two digit number in A; it should be trivial to alter it for more digits.

If this answer helped you, please accept it by clicking the check mark :heavy_check_mark: to the left and, karma permitting, upvote it. If this resolves your problem, close the question, that will help other people with the same question.

Yes, it works fine, Thank you. Only little problem is when a cell has a 2 digit starting with 0, it shows ### but I can live with that.

Thank you very much.

The ### usually means the cell is not wide enough to display the contents. Try widening the cell and see what happens.

The display oveflow reported by ### surely was caused by a #VALUE! error. As long as your “two digits” actually are numbers in the technical sense they won’t return leding zeros if treated the way @robleyd suggested. You need to make the entered pair of digits a text.
=SUMPRODUCT(VALUE(MID(TEXT(A1;REPT(“0”;14));ROW(INDIRECT(“A1:A14”));1))) should return the correct sum of digits for integers of up to 14 digits (leading zeros included) independent of the type under Calc.

Yes, it actually says #VALUE! when I increased the width of the column and the formula above (the bigger one) works. :slight_smile:

Thank you

Hi all, I want to do something like this, lets see i got number A1=6, B1=7 then sum in C1=13, i want A2=1 and B2=3 then C2=4

@Kevexcel: I cannot see any alikeness concerning your appended question and the original one.
What you asked for is achieved by the most basical formula you can have in a spreadsheet.
Put the formula =A1 + A2 into cell C1 and fill it down as far as needed (using the drag handle e.g.)
If you dislike the zero values returned for empty cells, use =IF(OR(A1="";B1="");"";A1+B1) or probably =IF(A1&B1="";"";A1+B1) if you want to accept one empty operand.

@Kevexcel: If I misunderstood you, please create a new question and explain in detail what you want to achieve. Don’t miss to read Guidelines for asking first.

Hi Lupp! Thanks for your respond.
I mean A1=6, B1=7 then C1=13, I want split that 13 to A2=1 and B2=3 then i will sum A2 and B2 equal 4 in C2

I do not understand this clearly beyond the single example.
If your intention is actually to get the second-order digit-sum then the document and the link you find in my answer below should meet your needs. Otherwise I cannot help without a clear explanation in terms leaving the example behind.
Where do A1, B1 come from? Are they assuerd to be 0< Number < 10? How would otherwise the split in A2, B2 look if C1 >99?
???

A1 and B1 =<9, so if A1=9, B1=9 then C1 = 18 then A2=1and B2=8 then C2=9

hi Lupp1 I just got it, thanks

Concerning the recent comment by @Kevexcel on the answer by @robleyd I got another hunch:
The contents of A1, A2 might exemplify the exactly two digits of a number in decimal representation, and the actual question was about how to gt the (exactly again!) 2 digits of the sum obtained from =A1+A2.

This would be achieved by =LEF(C1;1) in A2 and =RIGHT(C1;1) in B2.
To get the digit-sum of second order then in C2 the formula there should read =VALUE(A2)+VALUE(B2)

However, this approach is by far too specialised. It will deliver nonsense (e.g.) if the digit-sum of first order already is a one-digit-number. It will not be applicable if the original number (or an intermediate digit-sum) has more than 2 digits.
