Hi all,

Currently I have the code below, which converts text to columns. I paste the text (with multiple rows) in cell A1 and run the macro.

Code:
Sub TextToColumns()
    Columns("A:A").Select
    Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlFixedWidth, _
        FieldInfo:=Array(Array(0, 1), Array(8, 1), Array(25, 1), Array(73, 1), Array(85, 1), _
        Array(88, 1), Array(104, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Columns("B:B").Select
    Selection.NumberFormat = "0.00"
    Selection.NumberFormat = "0.0"
    Selection.NumberFormat = "0" 


End Sub

I would like to have a macro that converts text to columns, no matter where I paste the text. Then I select the rows with text which needs to be converted to columns. The macro should convert the text within the selection. The second column should be formatted as standard.


So a practical example:
I paste text in cells B4 to B10. Then I select B4 to B10 and run the macro.
The text should be formatted to columns and cell C4 to C10 should be formatted as standard.

Thanks in advance.

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
How about
Code:
Sub TextToColumns()
    Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Selection, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, _
        FieldInfo:=Array(Array(0, 1), Array(8, 1), Array(25, 1), Array(73, 1), Array(85, 1), _
        Array(88, 1), Array(104, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
    Selection.Offset(, 1).NumberFormat = "0"
End Sub
