Hi. I have here a sample set of data exported from a MS Access database. My current problem is that it takes time to convert these data to numbers because normally it contains thousands of row. I just want to ask if there's an easier way aside from clicking the yellow sign then click convert to number? Many thanks

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Highlight the column , then run this macro
VBA Code:
Sub MM1()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Selection
c.Value = c.Value * 1
Next c
End Sub

You can select all the data from B2 down & then click the ! mark to convert the entire data, or you can use text to columns.
