Changing data to hours

I have data that has been entered in days and hours; i.e. 1d 16h. Is there a way to use a formula to change this data to hours; i.e. 40h?

It works.
=(LEFT(A1,SEARCH("d",A1)-1)+TIMEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(RIGHT(LOWER(A1),LEN(A1)-SEARCH(" ",A1)),"h",":0")))*24&"h"

Here it is. You may change the cell reference A1 accordingly.
=(LEFT(A1,SEARCH("d",A1)-1)+TIMEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(RIGHT(LOWER(A1),LEN(A1)-SEARCH(" ",A1)),"h",":0")))*24&"h"

Thanks. I just tried that formula with one cel and it’s just showing #VALUE! Is there something else I need to do? The cell I tried it on reads “2d 1h”
