Default Do you have time?

Hi:

It's For Excel XP.

Suppose you have an XLS file where the columns were set to text format.
How can I reset the format to numbers with 2 decimal places?

Of cource, I could select the entire column and do it by mouse right
clicking and reformat it there.

But if I do it this way (may be the right way), when I try to SUM the values
I only get cero.

So, in order to get the real sum, I have to double click on each numeric
cell above it.

Is there any a straignt forward way to do this conversion?
This becomes even clumsier when I have 62,000 rows!
Wow!! I don't have the time to bouble click on all of them...

any help?

Thanks,

Rick.
