Hi,

I recently finished my vba code to import results from a database table. When the VBA macro imports the data onto the worksheet all my values are stored as text in excel and thus the green arrow error appears.

The funny thing is that excel kept my dates as a date....( column A )

How would I proceed to create a procedure

1 - check my used range for any cell values that have the error : "Number-Stored-as-text"
2 - if the error does exist on that cell, format the cell to a number

Thanks in advance
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
This might work

Code:
Sub test()
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
    .Value = .Value
End With
End Sub
