    I opened this file on another computer and it show me another Cyrillic code page. Thus shifted in formula on UNICODE, perhaps that will be more reliable.

    Formula is

    =SUMPRODUCT(
       MOD(UNICODE(MID(B29,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B29))),1))-1040+

       1+3*(UNICODE(MID(B29,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B29))),1))=1025)
    )
