    Number stored as text

    Hello - I'm sorry for beating a dead horse, but I've tried many ways to convert text to numbers, but none seem to work.

    When I import my lab results, excel won't recognize the results as numerical values unless I manual change all the numbers. This is extremely frustrating when you have tons of results.

    I've Tried:
    VALUE function to convert numbers stored as text to usable values
    convert numbers stored as text to values by multiplying the cells by 1.

    I've attached a sample workbook of the issue.

    I'd greatly appreciate any help and please note I'm a novice.

    Thanks
