Hello,
I have come across numbers that are formatted as text that I would like to
use in an equation. I have used the format text option and changed them all
to numbers, but it did not apply. I have looked at the error in the
calculation and it shows the cell as ="6 "*1, with 6 being and example of the
text that I would like to use as a number.
I have tried copying the value 1 and multiplying the cell with paste special
without any success. It seems that works when it is just single quotes out
front.
I appreciate anyones thoughts on how I can convert these text numbers to
just numbers
Thanks!
