Number Format
I have highlighted a field with integers and formated as General. For some
reason some of the numbers are on the left side if the cell and others are on the right side. When I try to sort, it sorts the ones on the left side then the right side, it's like two different groups. When I double click the cell with a number on the left side and hit enter, the number moves to the right side. How can I format the field where all the left sides are on the right and the entire field will sort instead of it treating it as two seperate groups? -- Gator |

An easy way to convert numbers that have been entered as text to true
numbers is: -Copy an empty cell. -Select the range of text/numbers. -Do an Edit, Paste Special, selecting Values and Add. -Press Esc. -- Jim "Gator" wrote in message ... |I have highlighted a field with integers and formated as General.
