The cells contains digits that represent numbers and they need to be converted to numbers.

Excel worksheet
Column A = Code
Column B = Population with digits and spaces but not numbers
Column C = with digits and spaces but not numbers

Objective
To convert digits in Columns B and C into numbers as per example in Columns F and G. And to remove the asterisk from some cells in column B.

I have tried find and replace the spaces with nothing, and I've also tried copying the column into Notepad and copying it back but neither attempt worked.

ASKER

I've managed to use =SUBSTITUTE to remove the asterisk. But it would not remove the spaces.
