calulating totals with ; semi colon

Hi I have a data set from sql - i need to create a graphic that combines and makes a total 

 

currently the cell has multiple numbers seperated with a ; e.g - 1000; 100; 200

 

i need a new column that combines these values to be 1300.

Hi @Archiedog1 ,

I create a table as you mentioned.

Then I use Split Column and select By Delimiter.

Next I change type to the Whole Number.

Finally I create a Custom Column.

Number.Abs([Example.1]) + [Example.2] + [Example.3]

Technically you could do this in dax, but since your data source is SQL you are better off solving that in SQL, or alternatively in Power Query.
