Hi Dave - I saw where you had posted that response to someone else's request
and I tried that but it doesn't work for me. I tried the LEN function and i
can tell that there are hidden characters within the text. Not sure how to
fix this, but it's driving me crazy.

(and maybe reformat the column)

I have a spreadsheet where it appears there are numbers in column A. To my
surprise they are acutally represented as text. I used the =isnumber formula
to test which came back false. What i need to do is convert these alpha
numbers to actual text in order to sort. Is there a way to do this?
