Hello
I have this array of numbers and alphabets stored as text as you may notice :{”6”;”4”;”1”;”D”;”R”}
I want to convert the numbers to numbers and let the text stored as text, it may look like this: {6;4;1;”D”;”R”}
is there a formula to work around that?
Any help will be very appreciated
Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Suggest you upload a sample workbook showing your data and a mocked up solution so that we understand exactly what you have and what you are looking to do. Please use the XL2BB function which is part of this forum to do the upload. Do not load a picture as we can not manipulate data in a picture.

As I indicated, I cannot manipulate data in images. Hopefully, someone else will chime in here for you.
