Excel Text to Number VBA Code?

[DCPan]

Hi,

I got the piece about controlling Excel from Access.

I was recording a macro to see how a text can be converted to a number via
that little exclamation mark in Excel 2003 so something like '1 can be
converted to 1, but when I recorded the macro, it didn't show the code for
it! It just show the select part of the statement.

Does anyone know the code for changing text to number?

Thanks!

Hi,
but how do you put text into cell?
if I use oSheet.Cells(1,1).Value = 1 - I get 1 as a number in excel
you can also try:
oSheet.Cells(1,1).FormulaRC="=1"

Hi Alex,

It's actually a download from SAP R3 -> SQL Server -> ODBC to Access

So, the numbers are prefixed with an apostrophe.

Is there a quick way to change the whole column?

Try something like this (air code)

Sub RemoveApostrophes(R As Excel.Range)
Dim C as Excel.Range

For Each C In R.Cells
C.Formula = C.Formula
Next
End Sub
