Default Converting String numbers into real numbers

Hi,

I have a formula in VBA that searches through a table for corresponding
results to the conditions I specified and sort the results into another table.
My problem is that the data I use, which includes monetary values, seems to
have converted them into string numbers (which include de $ sign as part of
the characters and not only into a simple visual effect). It's a problem when
I want to do mathematic operations with those monetary values. Is there a way
to convert them into real numbers in my VBA code just before doing my maths
with them? I tried to pre-format the cells before their extraction but it
seems it isnt enough to really convert them.

Thx!

Werner
