[Solved] Can't convert text to numbers Tried text to columns

Post by Craig777 »

FIXED - I have a few hundred cells with numbers that must be totalled but I can't get them to convert to number format.

I've tried the text to columns, importing / exporting, copy paste, etc.

There has got to be a way to do this other than by hand.

Thank you!

FIXED. There were spaces at the end of the numbers. Removed that and then did text to columns and made it text, then text to columns into numbers and it worked.

Thank you for the reply and your help!
