Default Number stored as text

Help!

I have some code that copies in data from one s/sheet to a summary workbook.. The problem is that it is storing one of the columns of numbers as text.

I've ensured the cells in the original data are formatted as numbers. I've also tried several versions of "Paste Values" etc. If I do all the usual things "manually" (the "usual" being copy a cell with zero in it & paste special onto the recalcitrant cells and choose 'Add'; click the XL warning and convert to numbers; data Text-to-columns and choose General) the cells get successfully stored as numbers.



However, if I do these through a macro none of them work - the cells remain numbers stored as text!

Any help gratefully received.

TIA

Steve
