[faboboren]

Hi Experts,

I want my code below does the same in 45 sheets and 11 workbooks. (change text to numbers in a variable range)



Dim rrGlobal As Range
Sub ChangeUPCtonumbers()
Set rrGlobal = Range("A:A")
Call ChangeUPCtonumbers1
End Sub


Sub ChangeUPCtonumbers1()

Dim r As Range

Count = 0
For Each r In rrGlobal
If Application.IsText(r.Value) Then
If IsNumeric(r.Value) Then
r.Value = 1# * r.Value
r.NumberFormat = "General"
Count = Count + 1
End If
End If
Next
MsgBox (Count & " cells changed")
End Sub

Dim rrGlobal As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Sub ChangeUPCtonumbers()
Set rrGlobal = sh.Range("A:A")
Call ChangeUPCtonumbers1
Next sh
End Sub


Sub ChangeUPCtonumbers1()
Dim r As Range

Count = 0
For Each r In rrGlobal
If Application.IsText(r.Value) Then
If IsNumeric(r.Value) Then
r.Value = 1# * r.Value
r.NumberFormat = "General"
Count = Count + 1
End If
End If
Next
MsgBox (Count & " cells changed")
End Sub

Hi xld,

Thank you very much for your answer.

It is working perfect in all the sheets for 1 woorkbook, but it is not doing anything in the other opened woorkbooks.

Thanks

Dim rrGlobal As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet
For each wb In Workbooks
For Each sh In wb.Worksheets
Sub ChangeUPCtonumbers()
Set rrGlobal = sh.Range("A:A")
Call ChangeUPCtonumbers1
Next sh
Next wb
End Sub

You do realize that if you loop through all open workbooks you'll loop through all hidden instances of workbooks as well, i.e. Personal.xls.
