title: How to turn a text value into a multiplication result in Excel
body: <p>I have a column in an Excel sheet where the cell values look like this:</p>
  
  <p>19 x 16 x 15</p>
  
  <p>The cells are formatted as text.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to have another column that would treat the numbers as such and the "x" as a multiplication and just show the X * Y * Z result in the cell.</p>
  
  <p>I tried playing around with formatting and a formula but to no avail</p>
