    Formula doens't read numbers in Imported data from OBI

    We export data from OBI to EXCEL and then paste it in worksheets.
    Formulas in these worksheets don't read the numbers even if I format them as numbers.
    Somehow Excel looks at them as text.

    Can someone show me how to work around this?

    I have attached a small sample of data.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.
