Number format to Text
I have had this problem numerous times. I have an excel file with a column
in a number format. I need to change the number format to text format for an Access database. I have tried changing the excel format for the entire column to text but the data still links to Access as a number format. How can I change the excel file so Access will see the data as text? -- Sandy Burgess |

Hi,
In a spare column, use the formula A2&"" to convert to text. -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "Sandy Burgess" wrote in message ...
