    Social Security Number

    How do you convert a social security number from text to a number? Is there a way to convert an entire column?

    Assuming your SS numbers are in the format of 123-45-6789,
    Try doing a Find/Replace

    Find "-" (don't enter the " marks)
    Replace with (leave this blank)

    Does this work for you?

    Hmmm, worked for me. What happened when you tried it?

    Your Find/Replace should look like the attached .jpg....
