Default Convert to number

Hi all -

I have a spreadsheet which queries an external database. On returning
the data, it treats numbers as text. The drop-down 'error arrow'
appears, inviting me to convert it to a number, which is exactly what I
want to do.

I need this to be done every time, so I tried recording a Macro to run
for me when I chose to convert it but no code was generated by the
macro recorder.

Does anyone know what code I need to use to simulate this error
correcting feature?
