Have formula treat value as text, not numeric?

Brian Camire's answer explains why, but here's a worksheet function that will work for you. Note that you have to create that numeric array in it based on how long the longest string will be. It's an array formula, so when you first enter it you have to hit CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER, then you can click and drag it down the column.

Short answer: When referring to number-like (or date-like) text values in a formula, don't use them in a place in the formula where Excel is expecting a number.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
