Hello,
I have a load of cells which are generated by a formula. The results of the formula are all numbers.
I then have a lookup table in which these numbers are looked up and the corresponding values printed (obviously!).
Problem is... some of the results from the original formula really are numbers (10), and some of them are text that look like numbers (="10").
The values that are equivalent to ="10" are not being looked up correctly in the lookup table, due to not strictly being a "number" and therefore my spreadsheet isn't working correctly.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
And no - i can't replace ="10" with just 10 due to the way the values are worked out, unfortunately.
Is there a function that says "even though this is text, treat it as a number"?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions! :D
