Hello,
Is there a way to have a cell display number, but behind the text is actually a text that I can ask Excel to use in calculations?
I dont know if can be done with a macro code...
Thanks! Regards,

Hi Pezal,
Do you need a 'number' to appear as 'text' but should be ok with calculations.. correct?
what type of text appearance you want.. just the left alignment or something else ?

If you have a number in a cell (A1) that is actually text, you can reference that from another cell (B1) and use it in calculations, you can do that in a number of ways. Lets say you want to multiply the "value" in A1 by 10...
=value(A1)*10
=A1*10
=(A1+0)*10
These are very simple examples, that show some of the ways
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

Hello!
And thanks for all replies and interest.
In cell A1 I have the word: "House". I would like to view in that cell the number "1" instead of the text, but I need to keep the word "House" in the formula bar cause I will use it in my calculations.
Hope I have explained myself...
Thanks once again!
HI pezalmendra,
use formula =1+N("house")

Hi DILIPandey,
Its exactly what I was looking for! Do you think this can also be done using a VBA code?
yes.. use this formula in VBA code.. simple

Okay!
And it is possible perhaps to just apply a format to that cell? For example to do it the other way (display a text with a number on the cell) I can do it with a custom format...

Yes. ... done that in yellow cell and then tested that for calculation purpose in Green cell, see attached:-
including text in cell with number.xlsx
