Default Cell Format on Imported Data

Not vb.net, using SQL.

Are you programming in vb.net?

If you are then set the input datatype is 'Double' and it will import with
the format of a number rather than text.

I have imported data from Oracle (using programing, not import). This is a
large file and it brought all numbers over as text. When I choose the column
and fomat as number nothing happens. I have to choose each cell change
format and enter. This is impossible as there are thousands of numbers to
change. HELP....
