It sounds as if your "numbers" are not numbers but text.

If you've got one of the "numbers" in A2, what do =ISNUMBER(A2) and
=ISTEXT(A2) tell you?
You may have spaces or non-breaking spaces along with your "numbers". If
you are lucky, you may be able to change the text to numbers by copying a
blank cell, then selecting your range of text and using Edit/ Paste Special/
Add.
