Default When extracting from column A no data

Hi
I have the following function extracting data from a seperate workbook

=TEXT([SurveillanceDup.xls]RDBMergeSheet!B2,)

Data is extracted to the new workbook

When I use
=TEXT([SurveillanceDup.xls]RDBMergeSheet!A2,)

No data is extracted

There is data on Column A and B the SurveillanceDup.xls.

This is a strange one

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks
Eddie

OK I just figured it is something to do with TEXT, but cannot find
another function.

I tried:
=text(a1,)
in B1.

If A1 contained text, it showed up nicely.

But if A1 was a number, I didn't see anything. So I'm guessing you have a
number in that other cell.
