    Re: Data Format Error

    Not much to o on with what you've posted, we only see empty columns, what's the content of what you want to show in that column? If it should be converted to number, how is presented from the Query.
    I hope you don't expect us to 'guess' but actual data will help.
    If the query runs you can aks if its a number, I don't know where the query comes from, how it's exported etc etc etc.
    Moer information and let's say 5 -10 ros of the qyery data might shed a light and if there's sensitive data in the adjacent columns just empty that field

    In case you 'd like to convert it to real number, try to copy a blank cell, then "paste special/Operation:Add" to re-activate them.
