Hi,

I just received a spreadsheet from a financial service. It shows a column
of data that ought to be numbers but is instead text. XL 2003 has the
"yellow exclamation point" that allows me to convert from text to number.
Given that I have more than a 100 rows, I would prefer not to do this one at
a time. Is there a feature in XL 2003 that allows me to do this en masse?

If not, no big deal. I can easily create a separate column and use the
required text functions to convert the text to numbers and then copy over
the text. I am just curious if part of XL 2003's new and improved feature
list includes performing text to numbers en masse.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Kevin

Copy an empty cell formatted to General.

Select your range of "text numbers" and Paste Special>Add>OK>Esc.
