column format as text
Hi
I am using vb.net and excel automation to copy a dataset from my window app to excel. I copy the data to the clipboard and then paste into an excel worksheet in a particular range. The problem I have is that one of my columns contains phone numbers in the following format +4478106356546. Because of the "+" all the numbers in that column is displayed something like 4.47811E+15. I would like to format that column and tell it display it's values as text. How do I do this? Would be great if I could see a sample. Thanks Sumesh |
