i think it's changing text to a number

see if this is more readable and fucntions the same, untested.

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim rng As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set rng = Range("R2")
rng.Copy

With rng
Range("G2:G3500").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlMultiply, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
End With

With rng
Range("l2:l3500").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlMultiply, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
End With

With rng
Range("M2:M3500").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlMultiply, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
End With

Range("M2:M3500").NumberFormat = "m/d;@"
Range("F1:M1").Select
Range("M1").Activate

Application.CutCopyMode = False

With Range("A1:M3500")
..Sort Key1:=Range("G2"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:= _
xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End With

Range("N2").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Despite the fact that it is crudely done from a recording of the macro, the
intent is to take the number 1 and use it to multiply by the referenced cells
to force them from text to numbers.

It looks to my like it is copying what is in R2 and pasting it in the
range G2:G3500. But R2 contains the digit 1 and nothing else and after
this runs
G2:G3500 does not contain 1.

I inherited this from somebody no longer here and the users are not
able to help.

Thanks
