Happy New Year!
I have a question for the general populace here on the forums since yall have been excellent at helping me with my many excel issues. I have yet another question to further help me automate some of our processes around the office.
I currently have a excel file that pulls data from 5 other files within the same folder. 4 of these files are fine as they are user generated and then simply inserted into the folder and in turn auto-updating the master excel file (named master.xls). However, one of these files is generated by a system and is then exported to a simple excel file (named stats.xls). The data within this excel file is automatically formatted as text. In order for it to work within the master excel file it needs to be converted to a number.
Currently, I have to manually convert the file to a number (open it up, select all, then select convert to number and finally save it).
My question is this, is it possible to have the master excel file (master.xls) pull the data from the system excel file (stats.xls) and automatically convert that pulled data to a number in order for the master.xls formulas work correctly? If it is possible what vba would I need to do it? Thanks in advance!
