I'm importing a report from another workbook. How can I format column A
of the destination with leading zeros in the code below? The source is
formatted as General. Thanks.


Code:
--------------------
Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:\FOReport.xls", True, True)
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Report")
.Range("A5:F798") = ""
.Range("A5:F798").Value = wb.Worksheets("Report").Range("C7:H80").Value
End With
--------------------

There's probably a better way, but this would work....


Dim X As Integer
Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:\FOReport.xls", True, True)
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Report")
.Range("A5:F798") = ""
.Range("A5:F798").Value =
wb.Worksheets("Report").Range("C7:H80").Value
.Range("A5:F798").NumberFormat = "@"
For X = 5 To 798
.Range("A" & X & ":A" & X).Value = Format(.Range("A" & X & ":A"
& X).Value, "00000")
.Range("B" & X & ":B" & X).Value = Format(.Range("B" & X & ":B"
& X).Value, "00000")
.Range("C" & X & ":C" & X).Value = Format(.Range("C" & X & ":C"
& X).Value, "00000")
.Range("D" & X & ":D" & X).Value = Format(.Range("D" & X & ":D"
& X).Value, "00000")
.Range("E" & X & ":E" & X).Value = Format(.Range("E" & X & ":E"
& X).Value, "00000")
.Range("F" & X & ":F" & X).Value = Format(.Range("F" & X & ":F"
& X).Value, "00000")
Next
End With

Before the 'End With' statement, try

.Range("A5:F798").NumberFormat = "000000.00"

You'd need to adjust "000000.00" for your data ...

Hi David,

add this to your code:

Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:\FOReport.xls", True, True)
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Report")
.Range("A5:F798") = ""
.Range("A5:F798").Value =
wb.Worksheets("Report").Range("C7:H80").Value

.Range("A5:F798").numberformat="000,000"
'added row of code

End With

Change "000,000" to whatever format code you want.

Regards,

Ivan

Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:\FOReport.xls", True, True)
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Report")
.Range("A5:F798") = ""
.Range("A5:F798").Value = wb.Worksheets("Report").Range("C7:H80").Value
.Range("A5:F798").Numberformat = "000000"
End With

this will show 6 or more digits. If the value in the cell is less than 6
digits, it will display leading zeros. Adjust to fit your requirements.

Thanks, everyone.

I actually only needed to do the A column. I probably did not make that
clear. The suggestions were still helpful.

This works for just one column:

..Range("A5:A798").numberformat="000000"
