If you want to include cells with formula, you could try, which is only a slight modification from the original. But adding numbers to an established formula could be dangerous so beware:


Sub Add2Formula()
' Add a number
Dim formulae As String
Dim a_number As Double

a_number = InputBox("what number to increment")

For Each cell In Selection
cell.Activate
formulae = ActiveCell.Formula
' gets rid of formula non-essentials that could cause errors
formulae = Replace(formulae, "'", "")
formulae = Replace(formulae, "=", "")

If formulae = "" Then
ActiveCell.Formula = "= " & ActiveCell.Formula & "+" & a_number
Else
ActiveCell.Formula = "= " & formulae & "+" & a_number
End If
Next cell

End Sub


This could be easily modified to skip blank cells, and to skip text cells you could probably evaluate the value of the cell, and when it errors you could go to the next cell. Hope this helps.
