How to convert number to string - VBA

Question

I'm trying to conver a number value to a strin ex. convert 10 to "10"

I tried

    With Range("B2:B" & NewResizeRange)
      .Value = Range("B2:B" & NewResizeRange).Value
      .NumberFormat = "0" ' Or .NumberFormat = "@"
   End With

But it us not converting correctly. Any ideas?

Answer 1

With Range("A1")
    .NumberFormat = "@"
    .Value = .Value
End With

This will make the green triangle for Number stored as text show up and mean that your cell will indeed hold a text value. However, when doing calculations using such a cell as a parameter for the formula, Excel will do some conversion by itself.

If you do not want to use NumberFormat, you could also do:

Range("A1").value = "=""" & Range("A1").value & """" - This creates a formula (If the value was 10, it'll make a formula ="10") that forces the value to evaluate to a string.

Answer 2

Try selecting your range first. So:

   With Range("B2:B" & NewResizeRange)
      .Value = Range("B2:B" & NewResizeRange).Value
      .Select
      .Selection.NumberFormat = "@"
   End With

Hope this helps.

Convert Integer into String in Excel VBA for Indian Currency in Rupees

Paste this code in macro by creating a module

Function name is ConvertIndianCurrency

   Function ConvertIndianCurrency(ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Temp
Dim Count, DecimalPlace
ReDim Place(9) As String
Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Lakh "
Place(4) = " Crore "
' convert MyNumber to a string, trimming extra spaces.
MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))
' Find decimal place.
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
' If we find decimal place...
If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
    ConvertIndianCurrency = "Please Remove Decimal Places in the Number..."
    Exit Function
End If
Count = 1
If MyNumber <> "" Then
    ' convert last 3 digits of MyNumber to Indian Rupees.
    Temp = ConvertHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
    If Temp <> "" Then
        Rupees = Temp
    End If
    If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
        ' Remove last 3 digits from MyNumber.

Dim XN As Integer
Dim XS As String

XN = 10
XS = Trim(Str(XN))  'now XS = "10"
