Excel: Auto converting text to numbers
I am downloading an Excel sheet, and the numbers come in as text. It basically comes in as "33 %" but Excel registers this as text, not a percentage. I have a cell that will be used to add the numbers, but since they are text it doesn't work. Given this information, is there a way to convert the imported data into numbers. I would prefer to include this into my formula. The potential numbers are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0 %, 25 %, 33 %, 50 %, 67 %, 75 %, 100 %, and N/A I would prefer a function, again if possible, that could convert any number. Please note, the space between the number and the % sign is there on purpose.

You could try this: Select an empty cell Edit|copy Select the range of "numbers" to be fixed Edit|paste special|values check Add When I did this, my "75 %" cell changed to .75. That's still the same value, but it lost its format. If you're getting this data from a web page, you may have non-breaking spaces (HTML stuff) in those cells. You may want to try David McRitchie's routine to clean that stuff up: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/join.htm#trimall (look for "Sub Trimall()") If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Avi wrote: > > I am downloading an Excel sheet, and the numbers come in as text.

A converter for Publisher 2003,2007 files to open in Publisher 20
If I am sent Publisher files made in the newer versions of Publisher, why wont they open in Publisher 2000? Is there a converter available as there is for Word file conversions?

How do you change the right margin of a header in Excel?
Is there any way to change the right margin in Excel, or is it going to default no matter what? The margins of left and right headers cannot be changed.
