A simple part of my macro performs the following task:

  1. Loads all of the data in a specified range into an array
  2. Plays around with that data and outputs it into a different array
  3. Pastes that array into a dynamic range on another worksheet
One of my columns in the source data sometimes contains numbers that are so long they are switched to scientific notation.

I got around this by introducing this step before the loading of the array:

VBA Code:
.Range("D:D").NumberFormat = "0"

Visually at least this solved the problem for me in the source data, specifically that the scientific numbers are now standard, but also the non-numeric entries are unchanged.

I then did the various manipulation, and when I output the array, unfortunately the scientific notation is back.

All of the cells in the target array are set to text format:

VBA Code:
.Cells.NumberFormat = "@"

So I then added the same code as before for the specific column in the target range:

VBA Code:
.Range("I3:I" & LRow + 1).NumberFormat = "0"

But now my output works for the scientific numbers, but for all of the cells that contained text, now there is a number pasted, the source of which I can't determine.

For completeness, inside my loop this is the line that populates the new array with the data:

VBA Code:
RecibArray(Counter, 9) = SAPArray(Counter, 4)

I'm not sure how to proceed with this now? Any suggestions?
