Changing cell type in the table imported from pdf

I imported to tables from a pdf file. Then I wanted to change the cell type because it was not number format. Actually, I could not find out what was the format, but I can not do calculation with the cell content.

    Make sure that the Number Format is not set to Text.

    Select values in a single column.

    On the Data tab of the ribbon, select Text to Columns, then click Finish.

    Does that solve the problem?

      Thanks. Finally what helped: Replacing (Ctrl H) , by space, and then I could change format to number.
