Need help with vba in Excel. I have a list of zip codes many of which begin
with zeroes so I have converted them to text using Excel's built-in Text function: Text(ZipCode,"00000"). When I run the vba command to assign the value of a zip to another cell on the spreadsheet, it converts it to a number, not as text, and thus my routine bombs on subsequent lines of code on a "type mismatch." ex: Range("NewZip").Value = Range("OldZip").Value where OldZip is the original zip code formatted as text and NewZip is the cell where the value of the zip code is assigned--with the leading zeroes stripped off. Is there some sort of Text command in vba whereby I could do something like: Range("NewZip").Value = Text(Range("OldZip).Value,"0000") you know, kind of like the built-in Excel text command? |
