What the agent was asked to do

You are solving a spreadsheet benchmark task in a real workbook. Objective: Produce the correct final workbook state for the expected answer region. What matters: - Only the values in the expected answer region will be graded. - The workbook is the answer. Instructions: 1. Read the workbook and inspect the relevant data region first. 2. Infer the required result for the provided workbook instance. 3. Write the final value(s) directly into the expected answer region. 4. Do not rely on prose, formulas in your chat response, pseudocode, or VBA as the answer unless the benchmark explicitly requires those to be written into cells. 5. If the natural-language task asks for a general method, formula, or macro, convert that into the concrete result needed for this workbook instance. 6. Keep your final text response short and only summarize the workbook cells you changed. Relevant data region(s): Expected answer region(s): B11:B17 Expected answer sheet(s): Task: How can I create a formula in Excel to sum the numbers in cells that contain a mix of letters and numbers, with the sum being categorized based on the letter associated with each number? For instance, in a Paired Comparison Analysis chart, I want to add together all numbers that are attached to the same letter, such as adding all numbers associated with 'A' together for an 'A' counter, all numbers associated with 'B' together for a 'B' counter, and so forth. Despite trying to use combinations of LEFT/RIGHT functions to isolate the numbers, SEARCH to determine which character is in which cell, and ISNUMBER for boolean checks, I have been unsuccessful. I need a way to differentiate sums based on the letters and for the formula to apply across an entire table, not just a single column.
