I have some VBA code that takes data from one excel file and places the data into a sheet of another excel file. The problem I'm having is some of the data is being converted into a date. I have tried turning off the "enable background error checking" and "Cells containing years represented as 2 digits". This has not prevented the data from converting to a date.

Below is the code. RawRetailSalesData is the sheet that I'm having an issue with. tdata(9,20) is the value that is getting converted.

Thanks for your help

Sub opendatasheets()

'''''Define Object for Target Workbook

'''''Assign the Workbook File Name along with its Path
TPath = Application.GetOpenFilename(, , "Select Sales Data File")
If TPath = "False" Then
MsgBox "No File Selected, Please Try Again"
Exit Sub
End If

Set SwB = ThisWorkbook
Set TwB = Workbooks.Open(TPath)
On Error Resume Next
TwB.Sheets("retail").Select
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "The data source requires sheets to be named 'Retail', 'Wholesale'. Please try again with properly formated data"
Exit Sub
End If
r = Selection.End(xlDown).Row '' determine the size of the data
c = Selection.End(xlToRight).Column
