I have a report I run daily and wanted a macro to use on the formatting of that report. There are numbers that show up as text and if I click convert to numbers it does not record in the macro. So I tried the keyboard shortcut ALT+Menu+C and that did not work either. Any ideas on how to get these steps to record in the MACRO? Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
here is a macro that converts "numbers stored as text" in A2 to A100 to numbers

Code:
Sub ConvertToNumbers()
    Dim rng As Range
    Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A2:A100")
    With rng
        .NumberFormat = "General"
        .Value = .Value
    End With
End Sub

Sorry. I should have pasted my Macro so you can see where/what I need for the conversion to numbers.

Sub AROWSReport()
'
' AROWSReport Macro
' formating of workday exectuion report
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+a
'
Rows("1:1").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Range("F2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select (AFTER THIS STEP IS WHERE I WANT TO CONVERT TO NUMBER)
ChDir _
"M:\MSG\145LRS\145LRS\(LGLO) Operations Compliance\3-RA\Resource Tracking\New Resource Tracker\2019\SOF"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"M:\MSG\145LRS\145LRS\(LGLO) Operations Compliance\3-RA\Resource Tracking\New Resource Tracker\2019\SOF\RAW AROWS.xlsx" _
, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
Range("E4").Select
End Sub

No problem

But try to remember to use code tags when posting code
- click on # icon above reply window, which adds code tags to the window

[ CODE ] and paste your code here [ /CODE ]

Hopefully this is what you want
Code:
Sub AROWSReport()
'
' AROWSReport Macro
' formating of workday exectuion report
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+a
'
    Rows("1:1").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
    Range("F2").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
[COLOR=#008000]    With Selection
        .NumberFormat = "General"
        .Value = .Value
    End With[/COLOR]
    ChDir _
        "M:\MSG\145LRS\145LRS\(LGLO) Operations Compliance\3-RA\Resource Tracking\New Resource Tracker\2019\SOF"
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
        "M:\MSG\145LRS\145LRS\(LGLO) Operations Compliance\3-RA\Resource Tracking\New Resource Tracker\2019\SOF\RAW AROWS.xlsx" _
        , FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
    Range("E4").Select
End Sub
