excel numbers in general format i cant add cant change format
Try this:
Enter a 1 into any blank cell Copy that cell Select your data to convert Paste Special Select "Multiply" Click OK Delete the 1 you entered originally This multiplies all of your data by 1. Any text that Excel can recognize as a number, will be converted to a number.

Copy an empty cell formatted to General. Select your range of "numbers" and in place, Paste SpecialAddOKEsc. Should be good to go now.
