The VALUE() function is used to convert a string to a number.
The VALUE() function is often combined with string cutting functions: LEFT() - cuts characters from the left side, RIGHT() - cuts characters from the right side, MID() - cuts characters from the middle. When cutting strings, the format may not be numeric, so you need to use the VALUE() function to convert it to a number.

=VALUE(text)
Among these: text is a string of numbers enclosed in double quotes or a formula, referring to the cell containing the numbers you want to convert.
Note
- text can be in date, time, or constant format; if it's not in these formats, the VALUE() function will return an error.
