Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Do you have the workbook open?

If so is it trying to do something else while your connecting to it?

I used to get the same error just because i had the workbook open
