Hi

Changing the format to text after data is entered has no effect.
For example a number 1234 entered in a cell with general or number format
will enter as a number. If you change the format of that cell it still
contains a number until the data is re-entered.
I have got round this in the past with a small macro to loop through the
cells and re-enter the data.
