Default VBA question When I search to replace parentheses in excel it gives me "-" sign
Hello Garry,

I appreciate your support. My entire workbook is formatted as "Text"
and when I run the macro it converts (.140) to -0.14 and I see the
error telling me "Number Stored as Text". Is there a way I can work
around this issue?

Thanks

I don't get this conversion behavior when I 'set' the cells to 'Text'
on the 'Number' tab of the FormatCells dialog. Perhaps you could
'deliberately' format all cells before replacing...

Cells.NumberFormat = "@"
Cells.Replace...
