insert a new column, and use the formula VALUE(original cell reference) -- that will give you the number you are looking for. If you need to delete the original column copy the new one you created, and then --> paste special and make sure just "number" is checked.

Hi, I am looking for a way to remove leading spaces from a column of numbers that was inserted into a spreadsheet. so the column entries look like (without the quotes) " 1", " 2", " 3",... and I would like it to be "1", "2", "3",.... so I can sum the column without having to manually remove the leading space from each of the numbers in the column... Is there an easy way to do this??

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Tom Moore
