If you want the value to be treated as a number, so as to do calculations on
it, then you need a custom format:

Format/Cells/Number/Custom Type: 0.0<alt-0178

<alt-0178 means hold down the <alt key while you type 0178 on the numeric
keypad. This will not work if you use the number keys above the regular
keyboard.

You may replace the 0.0 by whatever number format you want.
