    need to convert details in entire sheet from text to number format

    Hi All ,

    I have data in couple of columns which are currently in text format. Need a macro code to automatically convert entire sheet details to number format.
    Please advise.

    No need for a macro.

    Highlight the entire range
    scroll back to the top-left corner
    right-click on the small green triangle
    select Convert text to numbers
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Try

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Open up the VBA editor by hitting ALT F11

    Insert a new module by hitting Insert - Module

    Paste the macro into the empty sheet

    Hit ALT F11 to get back to the worksheet.

    Run the macro by going to tools-macro in Excel 2003 or the view ribbon in Excel 2007/2010.

    Hi Martin...
    Above code that you have given does not work ... And also please note I do not want to manually select the lines for conversion. So by default entire sheet have to be converted to Number format..


    Pease advise

    It's works for me but maybe I set up my numbers in text format differently to you. Are you able to post a copy of the workbook?
