I am wondering if the "numbers" which were pasted in
from HTML are really text (even though you have
formatted the cells as Number).
If you can change the number of decimals or format as
currency, for example, then they must be numeric. If
using those formats doesn't work, then they are not.
Often a likely cause of this is a space somewhere in
the cell. Try inserting a new column and using the
functions VALUE and TRIM to give you the numbers as
numbers. (If your pasted data is in A1, the formulae
would be =VALUE(TRIM(A1)) .)
If that works, then select all of the column with real
numbers in, Copy it and use Paste Special to paste the
numbers back in. Then delete the column with spurious
numbers.
