Did NOT work for me when the cell held a number formatted as text. But

If Val(Format(Target.Value, "#")) 0 Then

Did work (assuming the numbers were all larger than zero, which they are in
my case.)


Thanks much.. ! Will give it a try.. Chet

Does anyone know how to tell if a cell is a number when the value in
that cell is actually text? In other words if I have the character 3
in a cell and the cell is in the format of "text" how can I tell that
this is in fact a number in my code. I tried using the cint function
but I got an error message upon performing this function.

Thanks,
Chet
