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 |

Try this:
Select the single-column range to be impacted From the Excel main menu: <data<text-to-columns Click [Finish] Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Talladega" wrote: Hi I have a series of numbers in each row with an apostrophe in the front.

You can do this without a formula.
Select the range of cells in question Goto DataText to Columns Select Fixed widthNext Set the breakline after the 0: '0 | 14564 Click Next In Step 3 of the wizard select Do not import Click Finish If you do want a formula: =--MID(A1,3,255) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Talladega" wrote in message ...

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 "Talladega" wrote: Hi I have a series of numbers in each row with an apostrophe in the front.
