anyone able to help me with the above. I have a column which contains numbers with + or - i.e. 4+ or -4. I want to convert these numbers i.e. 4+ would equal 4.33 and -4 would equal 3.67 - any ideas on how I can achieve this? If the cell contains a whole number i.e. 4 then the formula is to return 4.

I've tried if(isnumber(search("+",a2)),sum(a2+0.33),a2) but get a #value error.

Thanks

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
try

=IF(A2<0,A2+0.33,IFERROR(INT(A2),SUBSTITUTE(A2,"+","")+0.33))

Not 100% sure on the conditions but maybe this:

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(A2), A2>=0), A2, IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("+",A2)), ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-", A2))),SUBSTITUTE(A2, "+", "")+0.33, ""))

Perhaps.

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("+",A2)),SUBSTITUTE(A2,"+","")+0.33,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("-",A2)),SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","")-0.33,A2))
