Hi Deluth,

Try:

ActiveSheet.Columns("A:A").NumberFormat = "@"

Another question is if I do set the format correctly to text, would all
the
data values being entered be converted to text automatically? Even if the
data is a numeric value?

Yes.

I am converting a spreadsheet from one format to another. I am having
trouble with setting the format of one of the column to 'text'. I tried
worksheet.Column.NumberFormat = "Text" with no luck. The value of
NumberFormat in the Watch window still shows up as "Null" and the column
still did not format correctly - numeric value still shows up as
numbers...

Another question is if I do set the format correctly to text, would all
the
data values being entered be converted to text automatically? Even if the
data is a numeric value?

Appreciate any help that can be given.
