Why won't my cells change from Text to % or Numbers
I have a spreadsheet that was copied from a web page and pasted into Excel.
Each cell shows a percentage. When I go to get an average of a column using
=average(a1:a20) I do not get a result. I get #DIV/0!
I have tried to switch the column to Percentage and to a number. Changing
the number of decimal points has no affect. I have even tried a few of the
customer
If I were to guess. I would say that the problem is the 4 spaces found after
the percentage. So each cell has as an example "100.00% " (minus the
quotation marks).
There are hundreds of cells so deleteing the spaces in each cell is not an
idea I am looking to embrace.
Thanx in advance for the help.
