How to change Text to Number in Excel 2013

Hi,
I imported and parsed a large CSV file (75000 rows) with 4 columns as numbers. They arrive in Excel as text with a "." as decimal separator. In Excel options, I set the decimal separator to "." but data remains as text. I could edit and
enter each cell to convert it as number but I have 4 x 75000 cells...
Any idea ?
Thanks for your help

  • How to change text in PDF doc. which is a musical score

    Hello,
    I'm new here, so please excuse me if I do or say something I shouldn't.
    I need to change the words in a musical score because the font is too small. OCR recognition doesn"t work because there are illustrations that are different from images or text... Is there a way to get in there and make the changes I need to do?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply, but I have Adobe Reader 9 Pro. Will it still not 
    work ?

  • How to change text in header of ADF Swing JTable?

    I need to change texts in ADF Swing JTable header.
    any clue?
    thanks
    Branislav

    Hi,
    how do you need to change it? Dynamically or static. If static then - assuming ADF BC is the underlying model - you can set the label hint to override the default column naming. If not using BC, you can set the label in the ADF binding as well.
