Answer 1

if you want to convert a selection (even with text in it!), you can use the code by firefiend (http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64027&p=331498#post331498)

I think the magic is in .Value = .Value

vba Sub macro() Range("F:F").Select 'specify the range which suits your purpose With Selection .NumberFormat = "General" .Value = .Value End With End Sub
