I am reading values from excel using xlrd and using a variable to store them in (as part of a loop), as such:
position = sheet.cell(j, i).value however, I want to convert position to a floating point number, as the actual cell value is in the form of X.XXX (where X = digits). When I try float(position) I get a ValueError saying that the string could not be converted to a float. What am I doing wrong?
