These two methods do not work and im terribly frustrated and want this sorted out fast. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks.
Assuming the data is in A1:A10

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10)+0)

Or convert the cells to numbers. Put a number 1 in a blank cell and copy, select all the cells with the numbers as text, right click, paste special and multiply.
