    Removing double quotation marks from numeric data.

    As a data download I got a block ** text with each item enclosed in "" "" and comma delimited. I converted to a table and copied the column I want to a 2003 excel file. How can I remove " " and treat column as simple numeric? I will then have to convert large application to 2007 as I am in that now.

    Try inserting a column and in that column type = (A1) * 1, assuming your column ** data is in Column A
