Would it be helpful to know that you do not need to use a macro?

Alternatively, you can do the following:

1. Put the number 1024 into a cell.
2. Copy that cell (right-click, select Copy).
3. Select the range of cells to be changed.
4. Right-click, select Paste Special Divide.

You don't need a macro.

Put 1024 in an empty cell.
edit|copy that cell
select the range of numbers to convert
edit|Paste special|check divide

clean up that cell with 1024 in it.

You don't need a macro.

Enter 1024 in an unused cell.

Copy that cell.

Select your column and EditPaste SpecialDivideOKEsc

Delete the cell with 1024
