Adding quotes to columns

[Guest]

I have over 12,000 numbers in 2 columns that I need to add quotes to. They
need to be before and after each number.

Here is one way with VBA


For Each cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If cell.Value <> "" Then
cell.Value = Chr(34) & cell.Value & Chr(34)
End If
Next cell

Sub AddQuotes()
Dim rng As Range
Dim cell As Range

On Error Resume Next
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Cells. _
SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlNumbers)
If rng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

For Each cell In rng
With cell
.Value = Chr(34) & .Value & Chr(34)
End With
Next
End Sub

Note: if your numbers are formatted for fewer decimal places than their
stored values (i.e, 1.2345 displayed as 1.23), and you only want to keep
the displayed values, use

cell.Value = Chr(34) & cell.Text & Chr(34)

rather than

cell.Value = Chr(34) & cell.Value & Chr(34)
