One way:

=--SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","")

the -- will convert the text string into ann actual number. If you want
to leave your "number" as text, omit them.

You could do them en masse by using Find/Replace ie select the entire
column and press Ctrl+H and in Find What: - and in Replce With:
(leave this blank).

Hope this helps!
