What Does It Do?
This function converts a numeric entry to its mathematical value.
Anything which will not convert is shown as 0 zero.
Excel does not really need this function, due to the fact that Excel calculates in this way naturally. The function is included for compatibility with other spreadsheet programs.

Syntax
=N(NumericEntry)

Formatting
No special formatting is needed.
