F2 + <enter without sendkeys?
 

Hi

Can someone please give me an elegant vba method of simulating F2 followed
by enter on a specified cell without using sendkeys?

The purpose is to convert a number stored as text back to a numerical value.

Any alternatives?

Thanks

Instead of that you could use this:

Sub Text2Number()
ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Value
End Sub

Jack,

Someone here in the groups told me a much easier way to convert a block of
Text into Numbers.

Copy a blank cell
Select the cells containing numbers
Edit, Paste Special
Paste = Values, Operation = Add
(effectively adds 0 to the range)
