Quickly Format/Convert Thousands' Space-Delimiter Numbers in Excel from Euro Data
I imported a Scandinavian data set where the thousands are separated by spaces:
Col A Col B
31 624 57 661
20 004 3 478
etc.
I need to convert these to US Excel's Number, but can't find a way. Only ',' is assumed for numbers. All calculations end up incorrect.
