Why is my number stored as text in Excel? Excel doesn’t convert numbers written in text into digits if you import data from another source because of the default setting.

Warnings Excel will only produce binary numbers with up to 10 bits. This means that it can only convert decimal numbers greater than -513 and less than 512.

Microsoft Excel depends on data that’s stored correctly. If you receive text values that should be real numbers, use one of these methods to get you back to the real work.
