Numeric in Text to convert back to the form of Numeric for VLookup Purposes

[achilles]

Hi Good Day

I always need to export from Crystal report in excel form, but I dont know why the account code which is in "Numeric" such as "11001" is always export as text, and when I want to vlookup from another set of data, each of them cant recognize each other, is the anyway to convert the text numenic to purely numeric ??

Btw, the crystal report only offer me to export as MS excel therefore I cant do convert the text to numeric form ..

Into some free cell enter the number 1. Copy the cell. Select the range with
your text numbers, and then PasteSpecial>Multiply
