How to paste a number as text
Requirement:
The user has a central dataset workbook which opens a range of other workbooks, copies values and then pastes them in the Master workbook.
When VBA stores a variable (as STRING) that looks like a number, it then Pastes the string as a number.
The user would like it to paste as TEXT.
Relevant code is below:
Code:
Dim ProjID As String
ProjID = Workbooks(myFile).Sheets("Timesheet").Range("a" & CyclCount).Value
Range("A" & PstRw).Value = ProjID
Solution:
In order to paste a number as a text. The range must first be formatted as text. So add this to your code before you paste the variable:
Code:
Range("A" & PstRw).NumberFormat = "@"
OR
To format as text
Code:
Range("A" & PstRw).Value = ProjID
Range("A" & PstRw).NumberFormat = "@"
