YouTubersLoveExcel#44: Convert Formula Text To Number

Hi there,

Is there a formula to convert number to text in excel? I am NOT looking for a VBA code. I am seeing if there could be a formula.

That is if A1 has 500
B1 should show Five Hundred

Any help is appreciated.

I have a cell that includes a VLOOKUP formula whose result is a number in text form: 3,062,044.41-. Notice the negative sign at the end. The table is a file pasted into Excel from a reporting program here at work.

Thus, I am unable to do a SUM on the cells which contain such a "number."

How do I get this text converted to a number that can be used in a SUM function?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry if this has been answered before. I did a search and couldn't find anything.

I have a column of numbers which is stored as text.

I can convert them to number but need to keep all the preceding zeros eg 01823. When I convert, I lose the zero.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Hope you can help me cus i been everywhere and tried everything already.

i need to convert all the numbers in a sheet from text to number format so it would do the calculations.

however not all the columns are supposed to be formatted as numbers so i added a loop to identify which ones should be formatted as number.

But then on such columns i used the following code to convert text to number:

Code:

Code:

     
  Sub ConvertText2Num()  
     
  For Each xCell In Selection
   xCell.Value = CDec(xCell.Value)
Next xCell  
         
  End Sub  
     

It works great except i need it to convert the whole column except the first line cus tht one is the header.
And secondly it gives me an error if there are any cells that do have number formatting and does not continue formatting the other cells that do not have the number formatting.

Any advice to help me reach my objective would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Mayra

This is driving me mad...

I have lots of cells that have the 'Background checking' green tag triangle thing on. Clicking on this says "Number stored as Text".

Now, I can manually click on this with no problems and convert it to a Number, but I can't seem to get these VBA codes to do it for me.

I have lots of columns which need to be numbers (not ALL columns though), and I have some columns which contains both numbers AND text.

Normally I highlight everything, press enter and click on the manual 'Convert to Number'.

This is what I have used so far, to no avail:

Code:

With ActiveSheet.Range("A:AA")
    .Select
    .NumberFormat = "0"
End With

Code:

With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
    .Value = .Value
End With

Please help, before I throw my laptop out of the window.

Regards,

James
