Changing A Column Of Text numbers To True Numbers: How ?

Hello,

Using Excel 2007

Have a column of numbers that I entered as Text.

Wish to change the entire column, now, to "Numbers," so that I can apply a
formula (SUM) to them.

Apparently, it won't let me, even though I select the column and go to
"Format Cells" and select Numbers.

Still comes up as a Text column.

How to I change them to real "numbers", please ?

Thanks,
Bob
