Import Negative #'s
When I import a text file into Excel, the negative numbers do not import as a
number (they are left aligned and cannot be summed). Is there a way to convert these to number format? I have tried format/cell with no success. If I retype the number, it it works but is too time consuming. Thank you! |

Try selecting the column, and DataText To Columns, fixed width with no
breaks. -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Eric" wrote in message ...
