Default Having macro convert text to numbers


Hi,

I have a sheet of several thousand rows and about 25 columns. When I
export the data into excel there are many numbers that come through as
text with the little green triangle in the upper left hand corner. In
the past I would just manually change them by highlighting the cells in
questions and hitting the pop up box that let me convert the text to
numbers. When I record that step of manually converting the text in
the macro recorder nothing happens. Does anyone know how I can have
macros convert this data for me?

Thanks as always,

Eddie
