while converting to excel number changed why? iwant sum the three column

3-65 is convert to 23805


i want 3.65 integer value to calculate

When you converted from text it recognized 3-65 as the date March 1, 1965. The numeric value for that date is 23802, the next day is 23803, etc.

To convert those text entries into numerics, do a SEARCH/REPLACE on that text first to convert the dashes (-) into decimals. See if your results are better after that.

where is march, where in year in 23802?

In cell 8/03/1965 there is no '-' to search&replace
