    [SOLVED]Remove Leading Apostrophe

    Hi Folks,

    I have some data that is coming up as having a lead apostrophe. How do I remove that from multiple cells simultaneously?

    Try this:
    • Select you single-column range of cells to be impacted
    • Data.Text-to-columns...Click: Finish

    Does that help?

    If NO...we'll probably need some sample data or a sample workbook to play with.

    Awesome! Thanks, it worked. I've had that problem before and never knew of that function.
