Default How to convert Excel imported numbers from text to numbers?

We have a software package from which we can export data to MS Excel.
However, when exported it arrives in Excel as text. Even though they are
numbers, they act like text. The only way to convert them text to numbers is
to edit the cell (press F2) and hit enter. I've tried every other method of
copying and pasting (even pasting special), but nothing seems to work. Any
ideas?
