VLOOKUP Problem

Hi guys.

I'm using a vlookup formula, and the thing I'm searching by is a part number. The problem is that in my table array, all the cells for part numbers have that green error flap in every cell, saying "The number in this cell is formatted as text or preceded by an apostrophe."

Some part numbers have letters on the end of them, ie: 12345N.

When I go into a particular cell's error drop down menu and choose "Convert to Number," the vlookup will work with this cell. My problem is that the table array is several thousand rows, and I don't know how to fix them all at once.

Any suggestions?

Select the column and go to Data|Text to Columns... click Finish.

No problem.
