Hi

With the data in A1, enter in B1
=A1*1 or =A1+0

That will convert the Text of the number to a numeric value

If you have a large range of data to convert, type 1 into a blank cell
somewhere on your sheet. Copy that cell.
Now, mark the range of cells with text numbersPaste SpecialMultiply

Try this:

Select the range of "numbers"

From the Excel Main Menu:
<data<text-to-columns
Click [Finish]

Does that help?
Post back if you have more questions.
