Office 2003 Field is defined as a type 2 (text) field. Using the method
described in "Convert numbers stored as text to numbers" only the zero value
fields convert to a type 1 (numeric). The source for the file was HTML which
I copied and paste special as HTML. I saved as .TXT thinking the numerics
would convert but did'nt. Suggestions?
 
Hi
probably you have some hidden characters in your data. Try:
=--SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(160),"")
in an adjancent column
