VBA code to change numeric value to string
The values entered in a column should always be of string type. If the user enters a numeric value it should be changed to string. Example: if the user enters 100 it should be presented as "00100". I have tried a code into Worksheet.Change() with Cells(TargetRow,TargetColumn).value = "00100". The cell value does not change.
