Dear forum users,
There is a problem I wonder if you could help me with. Perhaps it is a simple matter but I have been unable to find the answer.
Large numbers are commonly abbreviated with binary prefixes, especially in finance. By binary prefix, I am referring to the use of a single letter to represent the order of magnitude of a number. For instance "K" represents a thousand, and "M" denotes a million. e.g. The population of the US is around 300M (or 0.3B).
So when I have a column of numbers such as "... 8000; 9000; 10K; 11K...", I want Excel to convert or recognise the value of "K". At the moment, Excel is just treating this as text. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you in advance for your help.
