Sure, I can help you with that! Here's how you can convert a string of text to ASCII values in Microsoft Excel:

First, create a new column next to the column containing the string of text that you want to convert.
In the first cell of the new column, enter the following formula:
Code:
```
=CODE(A1)
```
Replace "A1" with the cell reference of the first cell in the column containing the string of text.
Press Enter to apply the formula to the first cell.
Now, click on the cell with the formula and drag the fill handle (the small square in the bottom right corner of the cell) down to apply the formula to the rest of the cells in the column.
This will convert each character in the string of text to its corresponding ASCII value.
If you want to display the ASCII values as text instead of numbers, you can use the CHAR function. For example, if the ASCII value is in cell B1, you can use the formula
Code:
```
=CHAR(B1)
```
to display the corresponding character.

That's it! You should now have a column displaying the ASCII values of the string of text. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
