How do I change Text to a number format

[PerryK]

I have a crosstab query that is uses a table that is formated as TXT.
(It comes from a server this way, so I have no control over the original
format)

I would like to change the format to a Number instead of text.

This is the in SQL view:

TRANSFORM Max([RM MIS From L01A Rpts].OGM_CALLS_PCT_PLAN) AS
MaxOfOGM_CALLS_PCT_PLAN
SELECT [RM MIS From L01A Rpts].ORG_GROUP_ID AS Dist
FROM [RM MIS From L01A Rpts]
WHERE ((([RM MIS From L01A Rpts].DISPLAY_HEADER) Not Like "2008*"))
GROUP BY [RM MIS From L01A Rpts].ORG_GROUP_ID
PIVOT [RM MIS From L01A Rpts].DISPLAY_HEADER

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Use a query.

Create a new query in design view. Add the table you have.

Add the fields you want to show in your crosstab.

For those fields that you require as numbers, 'coerce' them, using something
like (untested):

NewField: CInt([YourOldField])

to coerce into Integer, or use CCur() to coerce into decimal with four
places (calling it "currency" is a misnomer).

.... sorry, one more thing.

After you have the new query done, "point" your crosstab query at THAT new
query, instead of at the table.
