Default how do I convert text cells to value

Is there a colored triangle in the upper left corner? If so, then when you
pass over it you should get a diamond shaped icon w/ an exclamation point
inside. If this is so, then highlight all the problem cells, click down on
the icon and choose convert to number...

You can use the VALUE function to convert the text to numbers. Just use the
formula =VALUE( cell with the text number ). For instance =VALUE(B2)
