How to sum items from a list? I used the “sum of list” block but it didn’t actually sum the numbers, but added one number to the other. How to solve?

Hey @Marcus_Telles,
I can see you’re parsing out the numbers by removing the currency symbol - then you are creating a list of lists I think with the numeric value?
Anyway, try using an `insert at last` block instead and then you should end up with a list of values you can SUM.
Hope that helps.

Hey
But it is label separated R$ and Value.
I solve that is with for each and variable with function"by", so I got it sum my items of list.
Thanks!

Dear Tatiang,
I wanna build an app to convert a texts to digits, after that it will sum all digits.
Example: user types TEDDY in text box
After that App will transfer to 53221 and will sum: 5+3+2+2+1 = 13
Please help

i think this will help - [Number Parser Tutorial](https://community.thunkable.com/t/number-parser-tutorial/1041907) to put numbers in list from a text and then use loop to add them
