General Loop question
 

Can someone please help me with the following!

I just want to do this

Start in Cell b2

activecell.offset(0,5).value = cdbl(Activecell.value)

then go to b3
b4
b5


all the way until row 500.

I am trying to convert these text strings to number format without
retyping them.

Thanks
Josh

One way:

With Range("B2:B500")
.Offset(0, 5).Value = .Value
Cells(Rows.Count, Columns.Count).Copy 'assume empty cell
.Offset(0, 5).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, _
Operation:=xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd
End With
