Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Hi,
Here is the script to change to number format. I use it regularly.
Instructions
1. When open in excel ALT + F11
2. Double click This Workbook
3. Copy the below script and paste
4. Select the column you want to change to number format
5. Return to the code and ensure you have selected the correct sheet
6. Once you are happy press F5 to execute
7. Done you can now close the VB code screen.
8. NB always ensure you have a backup of the excel file before running any script as it will not any undo function.

VB Script
Sub Txt_to_No()
'
' To change text format to number format
'
For P = 1 To Sheets.Count 'Change here for the sheet number P = n
Sheets(P).Activate

Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Selection, DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
:=Array(1, 1), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Selection.NumberFormat = "0" 'Here you can select the type of format. Currently set to normal number format
Exit Sub
Next
End Sub
