Default error convert to number macro

Hello all-
I am attempting to make a macro that will make a pivot table that uses a
field that is a list of management areas where some are alphanumeric(6W,9T),
some are numeric(15,16,17). When I export the data I need from our oracle
database to excel(excel5 with headers), the whole management area field comes
up as text. The numeric data comes up with excel errors the ones with the
green dog ear in the corner. To fix the error I highlight these cells and
click the exclamation point icon that appears, and select the option to
convert text to number. That solves the problem. I want to record a macro
to accomplish this. If anyone knows how to do this. I need to know, I'm
fairly versed in VB if anyone has any code for this. Thank you!!!
