    Unicode Text or Text converts to Number for calculation purpose!

    I have some C programs when I have to copy some number it shows attach pictures, I copied it in to the excel sheet.

    But when I start calculation (Sum, Avg etc ) formula does not work, might be it is act as text.

    I tried to change in Number by Ctrl+1 then number but not works.

    Please any solution!

    Highlight the cells that have the imported numbers that appear to be acting like text. With the cells highlighted, click on DATA > Text To Columns > Delimited > Next > Next

    Make sure GENERAL is selected and click Finish.

    Your numbers should act like numbers now.
