Default Converting Text to Numbers

I have a spreadsheet that is exported from Quickbooks (QB). I have added a
custom field in QB to enter a cost for a line item on an invoice. The
problem is that this is only a text field and QB does not perform any
calculations on it. So...
I have decided to export it to an existing spreadsheet in excel and run a
macro against it.

I recorded a macro and in the process I selected the range of "text numbers"
using the Shift+End+Down Arrow combination. Then I click the error box and
select convert text to numbers. The fields change in excel but the macro
doesn't capture it. Can this be done?

Basically I want to take a selected range and convert the numbers that are
stored as text to an actual number so I can perform calculations against
them.


Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Charlie
