excel - Extract set of numbers from a string, subtract and then add them with certain exclusions -


i'm not great excel formulas, have excel column 'logical diskspace', each cell of has similar value below.

 | disk c: (ntfs)20.9731 gb (3.7077 gb free space)  | disk e:  (ntfs)107.3767 gb (22.7083 gb free space)  | disk f: (ntfs)107.3767 gb  (38.0516 gb free space)  | disk g: (ntfs)53.6781 gb (21.7887 gb free  space)  | disk p: (ntfs)4.7252 gb (0.5997 gb free space) 

what need find total used capacity excluding c: drive.

taking above example, should calculate follows:

exclude c: + (107.3767-22.7083)+(107.3767-38.0516)+(53.6781-21.7887)+(4.7252-0.5997)

note number of drives may vary delimited '|' sign.

could me programmatic approach achieve this?

vba not necessary tedious more 1 time without record macro activated. series of find , replace:

find, in turn:

free space) |disk
free space)
: (ntfs)
gb

and replace each nothing (the first , last above start space).

find ( replace -
find, in turn f, g , p , replace each +

find |disk*e , replace =.
