Thumbs up Answer: show apostrophe / single quote in cell

Hi Chad,

Yes, it is possible to display an apostrophe/single quote in a cell in Excel. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Double-click on the cell where you want to display the apostrophe.
  2. Type the apostrophe/single quote character before the text you want to display. For example, type 'Hg instead of Hg.
  3. Press Enter to save the cell.

The apostrophe will now be displayed in the cell along with the text. If you want to display the apostrophe in a formula, you can use the
Formula:
TEXT 
function. Here's an example:
  1. In a cell, type =TEXT("'Hg","General")
  2. Press Enter to save the cell.

The apostrophe will now be displayed in the cell along with the text.
