It&#8217;s like a magic wand that helps you transform a string of characters that looks like a number into an actual numerical value that you can use in your calculations. Let&#8217;s break it down for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syntax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>=VALUE(text)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>text<\/strong><\/td><td>The text you want to convert into a number.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The VALUE function is quite straightforward. You simply provide it with the text that you want to convert into a number. Here&#8217;s how you can use it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=VALUE(\"12345\")<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will return the number 12345, which was originally stored as text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=VALUE(\"3.14\")<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the VALUE function will convert the text &#8220;3.14&#8221; into the number 3.14, making it ready for calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=VALUE(\"$50.25\")<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when there&#8217;s a currency symbol, the VALUE function can transform it into a number, so you get 50.25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But be careful when using the VALUE function. If you try to convert text that isn&#8217;t a number, you&#8217;ll get an error. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=VALUE(\"Hello\")<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This will result in an error because &#8220;Hello&#8221; cannot be converted into a number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the VALUE function is an excellent tool for changing text into numbers in Excel, making your data more versatile and ready for mathematical operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excel VALUE Function is a handy tool for converting text to numbers in Microsoft Excel.
