Adding values in a cell which are separated by commas

Hello everyone,

 

I very much appreciate how the community was helpful in answering my questions. I have a dataset that looks as below.

 

murthybhs_0-1603688580295.png

I want to see if Alteryx would be able to add values separated by commas and give the sum in that cell. 

For example,

company B for Apr-20, I want 900+1200 = 2100 (sum only) instead of 900,1200 and

company A for Jul-20, I want 2000+1000 = 3000 (sum only) instead of 2000,1000

 

At the end of the workflow, I want something that looks like this where all the values that got separated by a comma(,) added up and everything else stays intact:

Any help in this is much appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Here is my corrected solution. A Dynamic Replace Tool is in fact required because of the special character in the Field Names. I used a Select Tool to change the datatype instead of a toNumber() function.

Hi @DeanWest 

 

We are using Dynamic rename to change "Apr_20" to "Apr-20" to match the format.

Our output is similar to yours before that tool.

You are most definitely correct! Thank you for pointing that out, I'll correct my solution now.

Not sure what I did wrong maybe it is the comma separators that I used. Here is the updated workflow.
