    Macro to apply borders to all cells with text and numbers

    Hi all,

    I know there is a macro that can apply borders to all cells that contains text (http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...255&viewfull=1).
    I have one sheet that has a block of rows with a header and at the bottom there is the text "Total" and to the right the sum. All the cells with content are given a border, but the sum (numbers) is not given a border. Is there any way to include a line of code in the above mentioned macro so it will do this as well?

    If that could be done, it would be really great.

    This forum is very informative and a lot of people really helping out and that is really great for persons new to VBA.
    Thanks and keep up to good work ;-)

    I don't understand your problem, the above mentioned macro runs for me, can you attach a sample of your file ?

    Re: Macro to apply borders to all cells with text and numbers

    Hello,

    Thanks for your email.
    I can't attach from work an excel file so I will put it in text below. When I run the macro the amount in column 4 at the bottom is not included in the borders. It is strange for me that this one is left out. Mabye the macro only selects where only text is, but then in column 4 there are also numbers.

I'll do that for you now but please keep in mind for your future threads that Rule #9 requires you to do that yourself. If your problem has not been solved you can use Thread Tools (located above your first post) and choose "Mark this thread as unsolved".
    Thanks.

    Hello Cutter,

    Thank you for this. Today when I got home I was searching for this button:-) just a moment ago I managed to mark the first thread as solved and when I came to this tread, it was closed already by you :-)

    I found that star and used it all for BIG thanks to those helping out with the VBA code. I´m still learning all those things as this is my first forum I´m in :-)
    Thank for those great tips and help around,

    Greetings,
    megatronixs
