RE #4 → you can select the Column of 'numbers stored as text,' then click the Yellow [!] sign and select 'Convert to Number:' I believe this is considerably faster than the multiply by 1 hack. I do use a similar hack of sorts, I'll multiply by -1 to switch ranges between positive & negative numbers with the secondary ability to convert number formats. This is useful for an accountant if they're trying to convert a dual column (DR/CR) trial balance into a single column (+/-) trial balance. Just multiply the Credit side by -1, then copy the resulting (negative) credit balance and Paste Special (Values & Subtraction) unto the debit side and it should give you a nice single column t/b that sums to 0 without having to go line-by-line down the accounts. IMO, #8 is the best tip. Thank you!
Thank you for your comment. From my experience in the past, if you have a large data set, convert to number option takes a very long time and even crashes Excel at times. There may be an improvement with recent updates but I have not tried it. Yes it's great for switching positive and negative numbers as well.
Some fantastic methods. I am sure your viewership will grow. The name of your channel doesn't match my perception of what you are offering.... super excel training and insights, from an accounting perspective. This may be causing some UA-camrs to overlook you which if true, is very unfortunate. You are one of the best Excel teachers.
