Bob,
Thanks - it (your code) works great;
and as far as Dave's code... - I had not seen it until AFTERWARDS.
It too is worthy!!
Appreciation here,,
Jim May

This will replace any $ in your formula as well, so I think it should be

ActiveCell.Formula = _
Application.Substitute(ActiveCell.Formula, "=", "~~")
ActiveCell.Formula = _
Application.Substitute(ActiveCell.Formula, "~~", "=VALUE(") & ")"

but what is wrong with Dave's suggestion?

John Thanks,
Still getting R/T 1004 with:

ActiveCell.Formula =
Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(ActiveCel l.Formula, "=", "$")
ActiveCell.Formula =
Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(ActiveCel l.Formula, "$",
"=VALUE(" &
ActiveCell.Formula & ")")

Thanks for your help, we're almost there, I can taste it...

you need a closing ")" on the "=value(" statement
so something like

Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(ActiveCel l.Formula, "$",
"=VALUE("
& ActiveCell.Formula & ")")

should do it.n Post back if that does not work.

Please rate this post if it's helpful to you.
