Advanced Excel Statistical - VALUE Function
Description
The VALUE function converts a text string that represents a number to a number.
Syntax
VALUE (text)
Arguments
| Argument | Description | Required/ Optional |
|---|---|---|
| Text | The text enclosed in quotation marks or a reference to a cell containing the text you want to convert. | Required |
Notes
Text can be in any of the constant number, date, or time formats recognized by Microsoft Excel. If text is not in one of these formats, VALUE returns the #VALUE! error value.
You do not generally need to use the VALUE function in a formula because Excel automatically converts text to numbers as necessary. This function is provided for compatibility with other spreadsheet programs.
