THanks for reply!
Probably NOT A BUG.

the spreadsheet had imported a table where the numeric entries were marked with 
" ' " (ie. single apostrophes or "tick marks", meaning literal string data) in
the formula for each number (it should have been just the number).

So when I copied the column and then wanted to paste-special only the numbers
(to clean it up for further number crunching....which is a common excel trick)
it would not do it! 

I had to manually delete the tick marks (the single apostrophes " ' ") before
each numerical entry.

Then everything worked. Don't know if that's a bug or not....

Would be nice if could highlight a column of numbers (albeit numbers like
'34.5, with the tick in front of them) and repaste only the number w/o the tick
mark.

Sheet is attached. 
U can see There are tick marks in the second sheet of entire workbook (called
CHARTS) under the data for "reverse", column G.
