I have a whole column with hundreds of numbers in that text format which I need to sum but I can't because it's in text format. So how do I convert it to numeric values. Thanks.

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Rick, that hunch is exactly right. Thanks. I'll try it again the new version of your formula (which includes the SUBSTITUE function). I'll also try and see if I can get the tools for posting graphics to work for me. -m

Dave3009, I checked the link to HTML Maker. does HTML Maker work for Excel 2013? Are there instructions for using it with Windows 7 or Windows 10? Thanks.

It's a tool developed by the board so I'm sure it'll be bang up to date, in Ricks signature block there is also a link to instructions on use. It's very simple really ;)
