Hi, I have multiple excel sheets each with a great number of data. The problem with the data is that I have a mix of Number format and General format. I want to create a macro which divides the number format by 1000. Any links or ideas please?

You may read with VBA current format of the cell. so standard loop shall be enough.
if your data are just values (not formulas) you may directly use:
Skip this line, if you prefer to keep previous formatting of changed cells:

But is it possible to this using macro? I mean, I currently do not have VBA installed and am quite a newbie on macros but still I think I would prefer to use macros at this point in time
vba and macros in Excel are one and the same. To run Kaper's code:
How to install your new code
- Copy the Excel VBA code
- Select the workbook in which you want to store the Excel VBA code
- Press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
- Choose Insert > Module
- Edit > Paste the macro into the module that appeared
- Close the VBEditor
- Save your workbook (Excel 2007+ select a macro-enabled file format, like *.xlsm)
To run the Excel VBA code:
- Press Alt-F8 to open the macro list
- Select a macro in the list
- Click the Run button

Alansidman, i managed to do as you instructed and it worked perfectly. Is it possible for me to include the range of columns for this procedure to be done? The first column is date/time and therefore I would prefer this procedure to always skip it
If first column is column A then:

I am talking about YOU asking the same thing on multiple forums. You must know where else you have asked the same question, surely?
