Default Date format problem

If they're all in that format, and you want to turn then into numbers,
rather than text with a space at the beginning, then use =--RIGHT(A12,10) If
you merely want to remove the apostrophe and leave a text string starting
with a space, then you could use =RIGHT(A12,11)

Hi all,

The dates in my column are preceded by and apostrophe. Anyone knows a
quick
way to get rid of the apostrophe. I have about 3000 rows on the
spreadsheet.

This is how the date appear

' 04/05/2007

To get rid of it I back space or delete the apostrophe.


Thanks for your help!
