select all of the cells and do a find and replace for ' and replace with ""
(that's 2 double quotes).

Dear all,

I am not sure if I am posting my question in the right page, I hope
someone
can help me out.
I used the DTS package in SQL server to put a table's data on an Excel
worksheet. However, I discover that a single quote " ' " is placed in
front
of the values in every cell. This makes the calculation or format change
cannot be carried out. How can I get rid of the single quote? I am so
frustrated.
Thanks.

Ivan
