I have a macro that pulls in data from other workbooks but it always displays
the currency as dollars $ I want it to display as pounds £ I cannot change
this even by using the format option once the data has been pulled. Any ideas?
My macro is
Sub TestFile3()
Dim basebook As Workbook
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim sourceRange As Range
Dim destrange As Range
Dim SourceRcount As Long
Dim N As Long
Dim Mainloop As Long
Dim Clearcells As Long
Dim Cellstartlocation As Long
Dim rnum As Long
Dim MyPath As String
Dim SaveDriveDir As String
Dim FName As Variant
Cellstartlocation = 1
For Mainloop = 1 To 2
Clearcells = Clearcells + 1
SaveDriveDir = CurDir
MyPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\Rousec\My Documents\wickes"
ChDrive MyPath
ChDir MyPath
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files
(*.xls), *.xls", _
MultiSelect:=True)
rum = 1

If IsArray(FName) Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set basebook = ThisWorkbook
rnum = 1

If Clearcells = 1 Then basebook.Worksheets(1).Cells.Clear
'clear all cells on the first sheet

For N = LBound(FName) To UBound(FName)

Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(FName(N))
Set sourceRange = mybook.Worksheets(1).Range("A9:G29")
SourceRcount = sourceRange.Rows.Count
Set destrange =
basebook.Worksheets(1).Cells(Cellstartlocation, "A")

'basebook.Worksheets(1).Cells(rnum, "D").Value =
mybook.Name
' This will add the workbook name in column D if you want

'sourceRange.Copy destrange
' Instead of this line you can use the code below to
copy only the values

With sourceRange
Set destrange =
basebook.Worksheets(1).Cells(Cellstartlocation, "A"). _
Resize(.Rows.Count,
..Columns.Count)
End With
destrange.Value = sourceRange.Value

mybook.Close False
rnum = rnum + SourceRcount
Cellstartlocation = Cellstartlocation + 30
Next
End If
Next
ChDrive SaveDriveDir
ChDir SaveDriveDir
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
