VALUE Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Converting text that represents a number to a numeric value
Understanding the VALUE Formula
The VALUE function in Excel converts text that looks like a number into an actual number, handling currency symbols, commas, and percent signs. It's a conversion tool for numeric operations—like calculating with text-based numbers.
VALUE("$1,234.56") returns 1234.56 as a number, stripping formatting. It takes a text string, attempting to interpret it numerically—useful for imports or text-heavy data that needs math operations.
Why Use VALUE?
VALUE enables calculations—think working with imported text or concatenated numbers. Its conversion power bridges the gap between text and math, turning formatted strings into computable values.
Example with Sample Data
| Text | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| '$1,234.56' | =VALUE("$1,234.56") | 1234.56 |
| '50%' | =VALUE("50%") | 0.5 |
| '1,000' | =VALUE("1,000") | 1000 |
VALUE converts to numbers: '$1,234.56' to 1234.56, '50%' to 0.5. It's a numeric transformer.
