Default How to convert text to number?

It isn't very obvious how your message relates to the earlier part of the
thread, but try:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,",OK,0","")

be removed completely from the field.

Hi Chris.

I tried this as well, though it returned #N/As.

Hi frenchtoast

Assuming your 12345 is in cell A21, the TEXT function will convert it
to
text format, which will then match the format type in your data

=VLOOKUP(TEXT(A21,"0"),C:D,2,0)

I have rows of data.

ie. '12345
and I want to use vlookup using number value 12345.

There isn't an error message (with pull-down arrow) to convert this
'12345
into a number.

How do I convert this without having to manually change these cells?

Thanks!
