Format Text to number
I am using excel 2007 and I am creating a macro that will count the number of
account numbers in a column. The problem is that the account numbers are stored as text not number. This prevents the count() function from working. Is there a way to get this accomplished. Thanks! -- Bruce |

Use COUNTA, that counts a on-empty cell.

Try COUNTA instead of COUNT. COUNTA counts non-blank cells, not just numbers.
To use COUNTA in a macro you will have to refer to it like this: Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(etc.) since it is a worksheet function, not a VBA function.
