Tab Next
Select Text finish.
Hope this helps

Your data is not consistent, one is a number and the other is text. When you have the cell selected you can see the data type in the ribbon above in the home section.
Why do you say one is a number and the other text? They are both text.
Can you build a reference table and use a vlookup?
I didn't think of that. Would be more cumbersome then valuetotext I would think.

Iade some confusion by not putting in the " in my original post but my question is not about how to write an if statement, that was an example. My question is what's the most efficient way to reference a data type as part of a larger formula.
The point of my post is how to use a value formatted as Geography in a formula such as an If or vlookup etc.
