Sum of values across Arrays/Lists

Hi there,

I have a column that shows a set of values like this:

COLUMN A

Row 1 20:40:0:0:20:0

Row 2 2:4:0:0:0:4

Row 3 . 0:0:0:0:0:0

etc.

Each row represents a project task.

The value represents the number of employees needed for the task across 6 different employee types/categories (categories separated by ":").

I need a formula the generates a SUM of the respective categories across all rows.

In this example the result would be:

Result 22:44:0:0:20:4

Any advice is greatly appreciated

A less than ideal work around would be to parse out the values into different columns, then add them up and then re-join/concatenate back to the original format.

Parsing, summing, then concatenating would actually be the best way to go as it would provide the most accuracy.
