Changing Text into Numbers, using VBA
When importing from a FoxPro database, all the charactors come over as text. When I try to sum these numbers, it will not sum because excel thinks they are text. Isn't there a way to convert all these to numbers through vba?

one way (non-VBA): select and empty cell and copy it - select your imported values - goto 'Edit - Paste Special' and choose 'Add' -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Cecil wrote: When importing from a FoxPro database, all the charactors come over as text.

No offence Frank, but all the advice I have gotten from you has been shall we say lame. There is 20 ways to manually do the text to numbers thing, I can do that. I am looking to do it with vba so I don't have to do it manually. Thanks anyway

So
try something like sub foo() dim rng as range dim cell as range set rng = selection for each cell in rng if cell.value<"" cell.numberformat="General" cell.value=cell.value end if next end sub ---- you may consider skipping such words as 'lame' as this won't help you getting advice -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany cecil wrote: No offence Frank, but all the advice I have gotten from you has been shall we say lame.
