Hallo, zusammen
Ich finde die VBA super und genau das was ich für meinen Job benötige. Jedoch eine Frage an euch Spezialisten, wenn ich führende Nullen habe dann funktioniert die VBA bei mir nicht, gibt's da einen Trick damit dies auch geht? Grüße

Hi Rolands,
Sorry I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you want to keep the leading zeros after removing only the texts from cells?
Or you can upload a screenshot of your data here to describe the problem more clearly.

I have used excel for years but not a power worker never used Visual Basic in a spreadsheet before. This method worked absolutely first time just following the clear instructions above and saved me hours cleaning up an imported Sheet. Many thanks - much appreciated. Cheers
