    When I go to the spreadsheet it tells me that this is now Number Stored as Text. I need it to be a number not text so that other calculations work properly. Any ideas? What have I done wrong?

    Hello OberonViking,

    Any value returned from a ComboBox or TextBox is always a text value. You can coerce the string to another type. This change to your macro converts the text to a double value.
