Issues comparing the values of 2 input boxes to cells and have either value be able to be text or numeric

Show all headers | View raw

So I have this code to replace an original value with a user entered one;


                      ' dim as variant so that if = false works on both cases
            Dim varReplaceValue As Variant
1        varReplaceValue = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="The replace prompt ", _
                                          Title:="the title", Type:=2)
                      ' if cancel input exit sub to not run next IPB
2           If varReplaceValue = False Then
3             MsgBox ("Replace input canceled, process terminating")
4               GoTo CleanAndExit
5           Else
              ' nothing 
6          End If
                      ' dim as variant so that if = false works on both cases
            Dim varFillValue As Variant
7         varFillValue = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="The fill prompt ", _
                                          Title:="the title", Type:=2)
8           If varFillValue = False Then
9             MsgBox ("Fill input canceled, process terminating")
10              GoTo CleanAndExit
11          Else
                Dim rngSelection As Range
12             Set rngSelection = Selection
                Dim rngCell As Range
13              For Each rngCell In rngSelection
14                  If rngCell.Value = varReplaceValue Then
15                    rngCell.Value = varFillValue
16                 End If
              ' do other things to rngCell
17             Next rngCell
18              Set rngSelection = Nothing
19         End If


It was originally for replacing text with numbers greater than 0 in a selected range and it worked great. Now the values I want to use it for are causing problems. if the varReplaceValue (line1) is numeric it has quotes around it and doesnt match to numeric values in the ForEach else (lines 13-17). If the varFillValue (Line7) is 0 it has quotes and is treated as false and runs the exit message (Lines 9-10). 

What I need is a check for Variant values that will make a number numeric including 0 and not do anything at all to text. I couldnt find a solution that did both in a relatively short format that I could follow.

Thank you in advance for consideration
