Default text to values

Sorry, disregard my answer...not a macro.

Snax,

You could use a formula such as in cell B1

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1) where A1 was your '100 value.

Just copy the formula down.

In essence, it says, take the right most characters, except the very first
charcter (length - 1).

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Kevin

om...
In Excel2000, what is the best way to code a macro that will convert a
column of text to values. For example, I have the following in column
A:

'100
'1000
'20

I want this to be converted to values like this:

100
1000
20

Thanks
