Auto convert text number to number

[WLH65]

I import from an outside source 300+ numbers in to a shett (INPUT), but the numbers come in as text. Other EXCEL sheets (OUTPUT) are linked to cells within INPUT. The numbers in OUTPUT are to be displayed as dollars. Is there a way the text numbers can be automatically converted to numbers on input to INPUT? I'd hope I would not have to highlight the 300+ cells and manually convert them. This would add another operation tto the overall process of creating various financial reports. Thanks

suppose text numbers are in column A then try this macro

sub test
dim r as range, c as range
set r=range(range("A2"),range("A2").end(xldown))  'row 1 is header row
for each c in r
c=c+0
next c
end sub

sometimes this works.
