Default Text to Number

If you see a whole bunch of small green triangles on the top left of the
cells, then select those range you will see a square box with exclamation
mark, click on that and select Convert to Number

Hi

I have a series of numbers in each row with an apostrophe in the front. How
do i create a formula that can take out the apostrophe, so the zero in the
front of the number disappear leaving only numbers.

ex: '014564 -- 14564
'077454 -- 77454
'023457 -- 23457
'077875 -- 77875
