I have a string of numbers, but they've been entered as:

357,041
332,224
341,038

etc.

Basically I'd just like to convert them to numbers so I can add,
subtract, etc. The problem is that as they are right now, they are
stored as text, and I can't figure out how to fix that (format cells
number does nothing).

Please help.
