VBA Code for type casting arrays

Hello,

I have an array that I am unpivoting data for entry in Power Pivot. For some of the rows, I can merely copy and paste the row quickly using a range. I use the code to transfer the array to two columns in the final sheet.

Data = wsCalc.Range("E6:F2000").Value
wsNew.Range("D2:E" & RowLen + 1).Value = Data

The problem is - when I copy, because it is a number, Excel seems to want to paste as a number (it is really a unique indentifier). Probably a simple issue but I want it to be output as text. I tried to put CStr around the first line (wsCalc.Range("E6:F2000").Value) but that crashes Excel. Is there a way so that the final data that hits the sheet is text?

Thanks!

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Format the destination range as Text before you put the data from the array in it.
