Convert numbers in imported txt file data to text format - excel

Question

I am reusing code Import Multiple text files into workbook where worksheet name matches text file name
This code is creating multiple worksheets and importing pipe delimited data into individual columns.
I need all the cells to be set to Text qualified before it does the text to columns.
Basically I want all the columns to be in text format instead of default General as the 16 digit numbers that I have in my file are getting messed up with General format.
I did try to put below lines but it changes the format after text to column is completed.
cells.select
Selection.NumberFormat = "#"
Here is the code that I am using
Sub Extract()
Dim FilesToOpen
Dim x As Integer
Dim wkbAll As Workbook
Dim sDelimiter As String
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
sDelimiter = "|"
FilesToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:="Text Files (*.txt), *.txt", _
MultiSelect:=True, Title:="Text Files to Open")
If TypeName(FilesToOpen) = "Boolean" Then
MsgBox "No Files were selected"
GoTo ExitHandler
End If
Set wkbAll = Application.ActiveWorkbook
x = 1
With Workbooks.Open(Filename:=FilesToOpen(x))
.Worksheets(1).Columns("A:A").TextToColumns _
Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, _
Other:=True, OtherChar:="|"
.Sheets(1).Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
.Close False
End With
x = x + 1
While x <= UBound(FilesToOpen)
With Workbooks.Open(Filename:=FilesToOpen(x))
.Worksheets(1).Columns("A:A").TextToColumns _
Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, _
Comma:=False, Space:=False, _
Other:=True, OtherChar:=sDelimiter
.Sheets(1).Move After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
End With
x = x + 1
Wend
wkbAll.Save
ExitHandler:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Set wkbAll = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume ExitHandler
End Sub

Answer 1

Try this (I haven't). It (hopefully) sets all cells in the sheet to text. With see commented section for the addition.
Sub Extract()
Dim FilesToOpen
Dim x As Integer
Dim wkbAll As Workbook
Dim sDelimiter As String
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
sDelimiter = "|"
FilesToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:="Text Files (*.txt), *.txt", _
MultiSelect:=True, Title:="Text Files to Open")
If TypeName(FilesToOpen) = "Boolean" Then
MsgBox "No Files were selected"
GoTo ExitHandler
End If
Set wkbAll = Application.ActiveWorkbook
x = 1
With Workbooks.Open(Filename:=FilesToOpen(x))
' ---------------------------------------------------
.Worksheets(1).Cells.NumberFormat = "#"
' ---------------------------------------------------
.Worksheets(1).Columns("A:A").TextToColumns _
Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, _
Other:=True, OtherChar:="|"
.Sheets(1).Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
.Close False
End With
x = x + 1
While x <= UBound(FilesToOpen)
With Workbooks.Open(Filename:=FilesToOpen(x))
.Worksheets(1).Columns("A:A").TextToColumns _
Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, _
Comma:=False, Space:=False, _
Other:=True, OtherChar:=sDelimiter
.Sheets(1).Move After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
End With
x = x + 1
Wend
wkbAll.Save
ExitHandler:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Set wkbAll = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume ExitHandler
End Sub

Not the permanent solution but I added below change which looks like resolved my problem. Since the longest record in one of my file has 45 cells I auto recorded below Macro and appended to my code after OtherChar:="|" and now it is working as I wanted.
OtherChar:="|", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 2), Array(2, 2), Array(3, 2), Array(4, 2), Array(5, _
2), Array(6, 2), Array(7, 2), Array(8, 2), Array(9, 2), Array(10, 2), Array(11, 2), Array(12 _
, 2), Array(13, 2), Array(14, 2), Array(15, 2), Array(16, 2), Array(17, 2), Array(18, 2), _
Array(19, 2), Array(20, 2), Array(21, 2), Array(22, 2), Array(23, 2), Array(24, 2), Array( _
25, 2), Array(26, 2), Array(27, 2), Array(28, 2), Array(29, 2), Array(30, 2), Array(31, 2), _
Array(32, 2), Array(33, 2), Array(34, 2), Array(35, 2), Array(36, 2), Array(37, 2), Array( _
38, 2), Array(39, 2), Array(40, 2), Array(41, 2), Array(42, 2), Array(43, 2), Array(44, 2), _
Array(45, 2)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
