How to convert 4% into number?
 

I load the web page from web into excel spreadsheet,
In cell A1, there is a text 4%, but when I use "isnumber" function to check
cell A1, it returns false. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to convert
"4%" into number?
Thank anyone for any suggestions

Do a DataText To Columns on that column, no delimiting or anything, just
run it through. It will convert it.
