Apostrophes in Cell
I create a formula in a cell, I take the result (a number) and copy (values
to get rid of the formula) it into a cell to the left. When done there is an apostrophe at the beginning of the number. How can I get rid of this apostrophe with find/replace command. I have tried everything, it just comes back teling me it can not find a data... PS. I'm doing this with about 33,000 lines of data. |

Apostrophes in Cell
If you don't mind a little VBA:
Sub tic_killer() Set rr = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConst ants, xlTextValues) For Each r In rr If r.PrefixCharacter = "'" Then r.Value = r.Value End If Next End Sub this will replace all apostrophe'd values with non-apostrophe values -- Gary's Student gsnu200707 "Megadrone" wrote: I create a formula in a cell, I take the result (a number) and copy (values to get rid of the formula) it into a cell to the left.
