Default Reformatting Cells

Hi Dave,
I formatted the column to number and did the replace method, works fine for
me.By far your method is the easiest.

what: _R_2 (_ represents a space character)
with: (leave blank)
replace all

But when I did this, I ended up with text -- not a number.

I have this in my column:
858+00.000 R 2

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines]
than deleting the R 2 in the formula toolbar, then copypaste in my column.
Thanks!
