Possibly blanks?
Code:
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

'ws.Range("A:A,C:C,F:F,I:I,L:L").Select
Range("A1,C1,F1,I1,L1").EntireColumn.Select

With Selection.SpecialCells(xlConstants)
.NumberFormat = "General"
.Value = .Value + 0
End With

See how this goes for you
Code:
Dim rA As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

For Each rA In Intersect(ws.UsedRange, ws.Range("A:A,C:C,F:F,I:I,L:L")).Areas
  With rA
    .NumberFormat = "General"
    .Value = .Value
  End With
Next rA

Hello
The add zero to the value will strip the ' from in front of the number

the only entry that will cause an error will be a letter in one of the columns do you have headers?

@ pike
Are you testing the codes posted yourself? I ask because so far for me, they have all either thrown an error or altered the numbers in my worksheet. :unsure:
