convert to number format

[Tommy]

i'm writing code in C# that uses a string array to insert a row of
fields into an excel sheet, at the end of the excel sheet i have a cell
that is suppose to calculate the total of a column, it won't add the
total because my numbers are being inserted as text, any easy fixes??

Hi
could you post the relevant part of your code that inserts the values
in Excel

well it's actually kind of tricky, i grab a bunch of pay roll
information and create an area for each cell in a row, then i add that
row to an array of rows for the whole page and then i add it to excel,
but theres a bunch of extra formatting i do

for(int i = 0; i < pagearray.Length; i++)
{
//add 2 to the array to add values in after the headers
int irow = i + 2;
Excel.Range range = (Excel.Range)sheet.Cells.get_Range("A" +
irow.ToString().Trim(),"P" + irow.ToString().Trim());
range.Value2 = pagearray;

//this is the relevant part of the code

Hi
if each element in your pagearray is a numeric value why not convert it
to a number before inserting it into Excel (don't know the C# syntax
for this).

Good point, as simple as that solution it escaped me, thanks a lot
