Default Text number to number value for calculating


How do you convert a text number format "51" to number 51 that I can use
for calculations. Quotes used to illustrate that it is in text format.

=INT("51")

or if cell A1 contains "51", then =INT(A1)

simce there are often spaces associated with Text numbers I often use
something like
=value(trim(A1))
if the number is in Cell A1
