Default Converting numbers stored as text into number-format

I haven't seen your file but.........
Select an empty cell, press <Ctrl<C Select the range of text you wish to
convert. Right click, select Paste Special, tick Add and click on OK. Your
text should now be numerals

When issuing a report, I have a need for extracting data from a production
control system. The data are being saved in HTML-format, and then saved
into Microsoft Excel.

The numbers then occur stored as text-format in Excel. I have not succeded
when trying to convert them into number-format (the numbers are going to be
used in further calculations). Please see the attached Microsoft
Excel-file. Have anybody the solution for my problem ?

The report is bigger than the sample in the attached spreadsheet.

All help will be greatly appreciated.
