VALUE

Definition: The VALUE function in Excel is used to convert a text string that represents a number to a numerical value that Excel can recognize as a number.

Syntax: ==VALUE(text).

Situation: This formula is appropriate in situations where you need to convert a text string that represents a number to a numerical value.

Example: If you have a cell that contains the text string “10”, you would use the formula =VALUE(“10”). This would return a value of 10, which is the numerical value represented by the text string.
