Formulas in excels
Posted by sam on January 29, 2002 8:22 AM
I have a column of cells that contain different numbers seperted by a "+" for example
1.00+2.00+3.00
2.00+9.23+4.00
I am trying to get these cells to calculate the value of the cell instead of showing the numbers. The cells are not formulas since there is no = sign infront of the numbers. And since I am importing these cells from another application I cant enter an = sign on them. The only way I can find to calculate the cell is to click on the equals sign in the formula bar and then click OK. Is there a way to do this operation on the entire column, I have over 2000 rows to do this to daily, and selecting each individual cell and then converting it to a formula is time consuming. I have tried highlighting the column and performing the above operation but it justs changes the first cell. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming that A1 contains "1.00+2.00+3.00"...
enter the formula "="&A1 into B1 and Copy down
as far as needed. Select column B and perform
a Copy/Paste Special Values. Finally, with
press Control+H and replace occurances of = with
=.

Highlight area to be converted then run the following
Sub TextToFormula()
Dim TCell
For Each TCell In Selection
TCell.Value = "=" & TCell.Value
Next
End Sub
