A1 is formatted as text and contains a decimal number I would like to programmatically convert to a number.
The "convert to number" function N() only works with whole numbers apparently.
Trying a trick like =A1+0 seems to similarly only work with whole numbers.

You can use the float() function to convert any data type into a floating-point number. This method only accepts one parameter. If you do not pass any argument, then the method returns 0.0. If the input string contains an argument outside the range of floating-point value, OverflowError will be generated.
You convert a string to a number by calling the Parse or TryParse method found on numeric types ( int , long , double , and so on), or by using methods in the System. Convert class. It's slightly more efficient and straightforward to call a TryParse method (for example, int.
Integers and floats are data types that deal with numbers. To convert the integer to float, use the float() function in Python. Similarly, if you want to convert a float to an integer, you can use the int() function.
We can convert a string to float in Python using the float() function. This is a built-in function used to convert an object to a floating point number.
Use the function
value(A1)
to convert a string to a number.

Using VALUE() should work if you know that the cell will convert to a number
