Convert Text to Numbers in a Macro
Expect a bucket load of prayers :o))))))))

You can cut that by using For each rg in Range("A1:A1000"), for example. Sub TryThis() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim rg As Range For Each rg In Range("A:A") If rg.Value < "" Then rg.NumberFormat = "General" rg.Value = rg.Value End If Next rg Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub I am looking forward to hearing those monks. Alternatively you could be very nice and give me a little green tick :-) -- Allllen "Denise" wrote: Hi! I have a data dump I am running several macros on. One macro I would love to run is to convert a column of text numbers to numerical. Excel does recognize them - I get the little green tirangle. But anyone who uses Excel XP or 2003 (which I do) knows that formatting does NOT work. Conversion must be done using that Smart Tag option. However, the smart tag action does not get recorded in a macro. Microsoft gave us a wonderful new feature and then didn't let us record it and make life alittle easier. So, if anyone can help me find a way to get this action recorded into the macro, I would be forever grateful and even have monks pray for you. |
