Remove # Symbol
Insert a new column next to the existing data, and use a formula like
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1) where A1 is the first cell with data. Copy this down as far as you need to go. Then copy this range and Paste Special Values over the original range and finally delete the range with the formulas.
