Hi,

What I am used to doing in Excel is copy everything in, then
format the cells to be numbers and they are converted to
numbers and my formula work.

Really? I'm surprised. I didn't know Excel did this conversion
just on formatting.


I just tried in Excel 2013 and it´s simply not true. ;-)

Changing the number format of a cell does not convert a text value
into a number value.

Stefan
