Default Text to Number conversion

Hi all,

Need some help.
One of my main data for my job, is in Excel format. The problem lies with
the cell format. All number being stored as text. I need to do error checking
and then keep pressing C on the keyboard ( for converting to number ) . It
took between 30 to 45 minutes pressing time before it finally completed.
Is there any way to remove this "Pressing Job" as it really irritates me.
