Hi Simo,
at Carlos' Step 3, you can also try the "Case Else" function in the expression.
Something like
Case
when "number" = 34522 Then '1-2 floors'
When "number" = 34521 Then '3-n floors' End. (assuming number is the name of
the numerical field).
Add enough "When... Then..." as needed in the expression if you have more than
these two values to be changed. No need to select features before, just list
all different combinations and all will be done at once.

Hi Simo:
1. Open attribute table and create new text field (A number field doesn't can
be changed directly into text).
2. Select by expression (number = 34522)
3 Open field calculator and select update field. Update the created field text.
Expression for this field is new value that you want "1-2 floors".
4. Do same job for another value.
Good luck
Carlos

What are the steps, if you want to change numbers to text?
In atrribute table I have a column, which have numbers in it "34522" and
"34521".
I want to change it that number "34522" is called for example "1-2 floors" or
house and "34521" is called "3-n floors" or something else.
I could easily write that text in it, but when I have over 100 000 rows, it
could take a little time :)
