Hi

How do I convert a number stored as text, to a number format with VBA?

I use the following formula to extract the number part of an ID

Code:
=RIGHT(RC[-1],7)

but I need the result stored as a number, not text.

Thanks

Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college
Try this:
Code:
Sub Convert_text2num() 
    Dim rngData As Range, rngCell As Range 
     
    With Sheet1 
        Set rngData = .Range("A1:A10") 
        For Each rngCell In rngData 
            With rngCell 
                .Value = Val(.Value) 
                .NumberFormat = "0" 
            End With 
        Next 
    End With 
     
End Sub
Above would work - Provided you have the range of extracted numbers from text in column A from rows 1 to 10.
