Default import from web

Hi ,i'm importing from a web page some data into excel .

The problem is that i can't use imported numeric cells for aritmetical
operations and functions . I tried to use /format/cells/number option in
menu bar for changing cells properties but its impossible to do any
numerical operation or function with this cells .

What can i do ?
thanks.

Put a 1 in an empty cell and copy it. Highlight the data and select
Editpaste special...Values+Add. That should do it
