Default Coverting strings to numbers and trimming trailing zeros

Try formatting the range as General
Then edit|replace
what: . (decimal point)
with: .
replace all

Record a macro when you do it in code and you should be ok.

Basically, I've tried to format the cell in a macro and as it's a
string it's not reformatting so this is the case I'm trying to
resolve . . .

My original data looks like this:

151.00
1.00
2.25
16.00
16.20

I'm looking for a result like this""
151
1
2.25
16
16.2
