Actually, if you don't have many columns of data to convert
you can do what you want WITHOUT the help of a macro
using this method:

From the Excel Main Menu:
<tools<options<transition
....Check: Transition Formula Entry...Click [OK]

Then...select a column of data
<data<text-to-columns....Click [Finish]
(repeat for the remaining columns)

<tools<options<transition
....UNCheck: Transition Formula Entry...Click [OK]

However, if you prefer a macro...try this:

Sub ConvertToFormula()
Dim cCell As Range
Dim cContents
Dim cNewContents

For Each cCell In Selection.Cells
If cCell.Formula < "" Then
On Error Resume Next
'Get the current cell contents
cContents = cCell.Formula

'Build the new contents
cNewContents = "=" & cContents

'Try using the new contents
cCell.Formula = cNewContents

If IsError(cCell) Then
'Restore the previous contents
cCell.Formula = cContents
End If
End If
Next cCell

End Sub

To use that macro:

Select the range of cell to be impacted.
[ALT]+[F8].....to see the list of available macros
Select ConvertToFormula
Press [ENTER]

Does that help?

You literally want to add "=" into each of the cells? or do you want the
calculation to run?
