Formula question

Question

I have a cell that contains 3 lines of numbers and I need to make sure all three numbers get included in a formula. Whenever I use the sum function, it does not include any of the numbers. How would I go about this?

Thanks

sandrews015&nbsp;&nbsp;With Beta function TEXTSPLIT*&nbsp;in&nbsp;B7:=SUM(
    BYROW(B1:B6,
        LAMBDA(rw,
            IF(ISTEXT(rw), SUM(--TEXTSPLIT(rw,CHAR(10))), rw)
        )
    )
)&nbsp;*&nbsp;can be simulated

Without modern functions
=SUM( FILTERXML("&lt;t&gt;&lt;s&gt;"&amp;SUBSTITUTE(B3,CHAR(10),"&lt;/s&gt;&lt;s&gt;")&amp;"&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/t&gt;", "//s") )

sandrews015&nbsp;When you say to have a cell containing three lines of numbers, that means you are&nbsp;dealing with a text string of three number separated with a line-feed (Alt-Enter). Summing texts results 0.

Is there a way around this, other than giving each number its own cell?
