Default truncate text in each cell in column

Hello,
I would like to loop through text data in a column and truncate the cells to
35 characters. I don't know how many cells will contain data and there are
empty cells. I can have 50,000 or more cells in the column. I thought this
code would work:
For Each rngCell In Columns("N:N")
rngCell.Value = Left(CStr(rngCell), 35)
Next rngCell
but it gives a type mismatch error.
Also this doesn't loop through each cell in the column as I thought it would.
Thanks for any help.
Jake
