Default format a formula to general (not text)

I am importing a text (.csv) file into excel and formatting it via a Macro.
in one column I have to insert a formula but when I do so, the formula is
showing, i.e. "=TRIM(Z4)". I have tried to format to "general" but it
doesn't work unless I click inside the cell and press enter. How do I apply
the "General" formatting without have to manually click inside the cell? I
want to do it in my macro.

Here is my code:

ActiveCell.Formula = "=TRIM(Z4)"
Selection.NumberFormat = "General"
