I have a spreadsheet with multiple numbers stored as text. I wish to convert all of the numbers stored as text to numbers. I wrote this code:

Range("A2").Select
Selection.CurrentRegion.Select
If IsNumeric(xCell) Then
For Each xCell In Selection
xCell.Value = Val(xCell.Value)
Next xCell
End If

My problem is that it converts all of my text to 0's when it converts the numeric text values to numbers.

Thank you!

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Try

Code:
For Each xCell In Range("A2").CurrentRegion
    If IsNumeric(xCell) Then xCell.Value = Val(xCell.Value)
Next xCell

Hello,

Just came to my mind.. what if i do this way.. Obviously Peter has better solution..

Code:
[COLOR=#0000ff]Sub[/COLOR] Without_Loop()
[COLOR=#0000ff]With[/COLOR] Range("XFD1")
    .Value = 1
    .Copy
[COLOR=#0000ff]End With[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]With[/COLOR] Range("A2").CurrentRegion
    .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
    .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlMultiply
[COLOR=#0000ff]End With[/COLOR]
Range("XFD1").Value = ""
[COLOR=#0000ff]End Sub[/COLOR]
