    @HI Mike Tron,

    I have checked the attachment JEAN1972 had used the function value(), i think it is not working kindly check the function in his workbook attached in post 1

    @ JEAN1972 Try "Replace" Ctrl+h ,Type " ' " in Find What , leave the empty Replace with tab , After that change the the cell format to Accounting or Number.

    Sorry I was on my phone and couldnt open the attachment.

    You also have commas in the data, so remove them and THEN use value as indicated below:

    Or you could find and replace on the Comma, but that gets annoying IF you have to constantly update this and remove commas.

    What my formula does is FIRST replace all commas with nothing, then convert to a value.

    Re: all possible formula needed to convert text numbers to numbers

    JEAN1972, Good afternoon.

    Try to do this:

    a) Select the desirable column
    b) CTRL + U (Find/Replace)
    c) Type , (comma) - Find What
    d) "Replace with:" tab = Empty
    e) Press "Replace All" button
    f) Format the desirable column to Numbers --> 2 decimal

    OK

    Is it what you want?
    I hope it helps.
