Hi
If you just want to convert what is text right now to a number then type a 1
in any unused cell. Copy the cell. Then highlight the text string or a whole
range of strings and select menu option Edit/Paste Special/Multiply

Depending on your needs, here are some options:
If '041255354412 is in A1 then these work:
Method 1:
B1: =VALUE(A1)
Method 2:
=A1*1
Method 3:
Put a 1 in any cell and Press [Enter]
Select that cell
Edit>Copy
Select Cell A1
Edit>PasteSpecial>
Check Multiply and Values
Click OK
Note: In all of those methods, you'll lose the leading zero. You can
re-display it using a custom number format.
I'm sure there are other ways I haven't mentioned.
Does that help?
