Put a more complex question, and got no responses yet.
So, here it is in simplest form
=value(1+1)  converts the 1+1 to 2
But =value( ) fails with Err:502 is text "1+1" is used or i a cell 
containing the text 1+1 is used??
I've looked thru command, and this seems to be the one to convert a text 
string to a value? Is there another command, or am I doing something 
wrong?

Contents of a simple spreadsheet

2   "=value(1+1)
Err:502 "=VALUE("1+1")
"1+1            TRUE            =ISTEXT(A3)
Err:502 "=value(a3)
