Default double quotes used in cell

If a number is enclosed in double quotes, it is treated as a text string,
rather than as a number.

Hi,

I am trying to trace an error while importing excel file. It shows one of
the enum values has a space. This is shown while I import it through
another
application (Axapta). My excel sheet has some hidden rows which uses
double
quotes along with some value/name within it. what exactly does this mean?
for
e.g: "53".Is this some constant? Where can I get its value? I need to
edit
the space in one of the enum values. But i am not able to find it in the
excel sheet. It shows a lookup sheet and corresponding enum value is
edited
there.But does not help.

Thanks,
Reshma
