VBA to convert the range B in number format??

[rohitw2]

Hi All,

I need a help where I have the numbers in column B but they are not in the number format. So I want the moment my macro paste the data in column B, it should convert that column in number format. I have tried multiple time but it only paste the data in as usual format.

Kindly advise

A	B
Date	Amt
25-03-17	500
15-02-17	6985
20-03-17	84
12-01-17	7321

Have you tried using the Macro Recorder to generate the VBA you need?

In the record macro i didnt able to see the exact code for converting into the number.

Add these two lines of code immediately after the code that puts the numbers in Column B...

Columns("B").NumberFormat = "General"
Columns("B").TextToColumns

will this make my data in column B in number format as i have to use it for my further calculations.

The cells will be formatted as General (the default for cells in Excel) so the code I gave you would result in the cell containing a real number if the text in the cell is a proper representation of a number (just like if you had typed it in manually).
