Converting a Column of Numbers Displayed as Text to Numbers
Hello,
I have a situation where I think an easy macro would do the trick, however, I am somewhat new to macros. I have a set of numbers that I import from a different accounting program. The numbers that are imported, are the accounting codes and they are all in column A and are seen by Excel as text. I can convert them to a numbers, but the process is time consuming. Is there a macro that will convert the text numbers in Column A to actual numbers? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. |

There are a handful of techniques...
Try this first: Select the one-column range of "numbers" From the Excel Main Menu: <data<text-to-columns.....Click [Finish] Does that help? -------------------------- Regards, Ron Microsoft MVP (Excel) (XL2003, Win XP) "cardan" wrote in message ups.com...

Just multiply those column A with 1 in a different column, this should do the magic! |

Thank you in advance.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Ron, Thank you for the response.I think the Text to Columns will work. However, when I record a macro is there a way to have the macro automatically select the last cell in the column? Thanks again. |
