Ignore 'Number Stored as Text' Error in Excel programmatically using VBA

Question

I want to store text such as \'001234\' in a cell. I have set the number format of this cell to text. After storing, an error \'Number Stored as Text\' is shown in the form

Answer 1

You can select the range you want to work and then put for example (now added speechmarks):

Range("A1:Z20").Application.ErrorCheckingOptions.NumberAsText = False

Answer 2

The above examples turn off the "number stored as text" checking for the application.

This code will turn it off for a particular cell:

range("G93").Errors.Item(xlnumberastext).Ignore = True

Answer 3

Consider:

Sub Macro1()
    Application.ErrorCheckingOptions.NumberAsText = False
End Sub

This is a single line of a much larger macro to configure Excel when I begin working on a new computer.

Answer 4

Alternately, instead of formatting the cell as text, you could format the cell as 000000 to get the leading 0's to show.
