Description
This function takes the string expression passed to it and attempts to make the data numeric by converting common OCR substitutions, such as “O” -> “0”. All characters are not necessarily converted.
Any character that is clearly a letter is not changed to a number, but if it is unclear whether a character is a B or an 8, for example, MakeNumeric makes it an 8.
