Hi All,
I have written a code to try and format A:12 down to general from a date format. I have since discovered the code wasn't working as I need to use the "column to text" function. I have tried a few methods to get the code right (including recording) but when i actually run the macro it doesn't complete the "column to text" function and therefore won't convert to a general format.

Code:
Sub columntotext1()
'PURPOSE: To loop through all Excel files in a user specified folder and perform a set task on them
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim myPath As String
Dim myFile As String
Dim myExtension As String
Dim FldrPicker As FileDialog
'Optimize Macro Speed
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
'Retrieve Target Folder Path From User
Set FldrPicker = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With FldrPicker
.Title = "Select A Target Folder"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
If .Show <> -1 Then GoTo NextCode
myPath = .SelectedItems(1) & ""
End With
'In Case of Cancel
NextCode:
myPath = myPath
If myPath = "" Then GoTo ResetSettings
'Target File Extension (must include wildcard "*")
myExtension = "*.csv*"
'Target Path with Ending Extention
myFile = Dir(myPath & myExtension)
'Loop through each Excel file in folder
Do While myFile <> ""
'Set variable equal to opened workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=myPath & myFile)
'Ensure Workbook has opened before moving on to next line of code
Range("A12").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A12"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
:=Array(1, 1), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Selection.NumberFormat = "General"
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
'Get next file name
myFile = Dir
Loop
'Message Box when tasks are completed
MsgBox "Task Complete!"
ResetSettings:
'Reset Macro Optimization Settings
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
