I have a spreadsheet with a single column, but many rows of dollar values. The problem is that the "$" is manually typed in the cell and I would like to use the numeric values in the cell. Is there a macro I could run to remove the "$" ? It seems simple to me, but I can't think of a way to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Simplest is =value(A1). That will grab the number value of the cell.

When you select one of the cells containing the $, does the $ show in the Formula Bar?

IF YES,
Select all the cells from which you want to delete the $ then do a Find and Replace (find $, replace with [leave blank])

IF NO,
Simply change your cell format to Number
