Combo box and numbers
I have a spreadsheet that contains a combo box, within this combo box are
numbers 1, 2, or 3. I then take the value that was selected and use this in a formula. If this number changes to another value, then the formula will not work because Excel changes it to text rather than a number. How can I force it to stay a number so my formula will always work rather than changing it back? Thanks in advance. |

Is this a combobox from the control toolbox? If yes, you can just convert that
linkedcell's value to a number by using --A1 Replace your linked cell reference with minus, minus, linked cell address.
