A friend has entered a long list of amounts in a column in Excel 2003.
Unfortunately, he entered the figures as set out below and Excel thinks the
numbers with a fullstop after the thousands are text:
1.234.56
3.567.89
354.87

I have tried several ways to fix the errors, e.g., Replace, Substitute
functions, but without success. I do not know how to do macros but I think
one could be the answer. Any help would save him lot of work and would be
greatly appreciated.
