Remove Leading Apostrophe From Numbers
Nov 23, 2006I receive a lot of spreadsheets which contain numerical data where each cell has been forced to be text by a leading apostrophe.
how to strip the apostrophe out so I can process the data, please?
I know the apostrophe is a hidden character, so I can't use Find & Replace, and using MID or RIGHT doesn't seem to work, either, even if I Copy and Paste Special as Values.
Is there an alternative to manually editing every single cell?

Sep 26, 2007I searched through some pages of old threads but could not find specifically one solution for performing the subject task on text strings in cells.
I have a lot of Excel files which contain both numerical data and text strings where each cell has been forced to have a leading apostrophe appended to the left side of the text strings and numbers.
How can I strip the leading apostrophe out?
I know the apostrophe is a hidden character, so I can't use Find & Replace.
I would like to figure out some VBA so that I could build this into and automate this via a macro I'm working on.
Is there a way to comprehensively do this for all cells containing text and numbers in a worksheet?

How To Detect Leading Or Trailing Apostrophe And Quote Characters
Jun 23, 2014I want to alert a user that he or she has typed in a text string that begins or ends with an apostrophe ' or begins or ends with a quotation mark " so that they can take corrective action in removing these characters. The reasons for this are superflous to this post but what I thought was a logical answer returns a formula error. Here's the scenario:-
A user enters a string of text in cell A1.
Cell B1 checks if the text, if any, in A1 begins or ends with a ' or a " and if it does, returns an "Error" message
The formula I've tried in B1 is =IF(OR(LEFT(A1,1)="'",LEFT(A1,1)=""",RIGHT(A1,1)="'",RIGHT(A1,1)=""")),"Error","Ok") but Excel will have none of it.

What Does An Apostrophe Do
Nov 5, 2007I have a vlookup function that requires the lookup values to be text, and I have a long list of numerical lookups.
My problem is that I need to go through all these numbers one cell at a time and change them to text. I've tried the easy way of highlighting the cells and formatting them to text but it doesn't work
All that works is adding an apostrophe at the beginning of the number which is VERY time consuming.
My question...
What is the apostrophe doing and why can't I do the same by highlighting and formatting as text.

The problem occurs only and allways when the horse's name have an apostrophe " ' ". In first example apostrophe is different from the usual. If i manually delay it and replace it - type keyboards apostrophe everything works fine. Obviusly its a symbol.

Sorting Of Apostrophe
Dec 17, 2009I have to match up two columns of data from different sources.
In one column the apostrophe is being sorted as a space, in the other it is being ignored.
e.g
Col A
Misty
M'Lady (ignored)
Mohayer
Col B
M'Lady (read as space)
Misty
Mohayer
Most advice I see concerns removing hidden leading apostrophes which is not the case here, others recommend Control and H to find and replace. This should work but does not as Excel does not seem to read the apostrophe at all.
I have tried Text to Columns > Delimited > Other ' to remove and then would have done =A1&B1 to put the text back together, but again this just does not read the apostrophe.

Jun 10, 2007On exporting information from another database to excel the fields which are text in nature, these are always exported as with an apostrophe at the beginning of text into the excel cell. I can do nothing about this as the export to excel is a defined routine which i have no control over.
Unfortunately due to the amounts of data, I am handling 10,000 lines, the physical removal of this apostrophe at the beginning of the text in each cell is not a good way forward.
The apostrophe is to indicate it is a text string, I have tried edit find and replace looking for the apostrophe with no luck.
It is important for me to remove the apostrophe as it then allows the text which is in fact a hyperlink to be live

Jun 26, 2006I imported the data from someone. And the cell in the column comes with the single quote'infront of the cell value. For example, the value that you see in the cell is "920-F-Y", but if Click on that cell, it turns out to be '920-F-Y, there's a single quote infront of it. I can't do a replace all on that single quote to empty space for some reason. Might just be my excel, or there's just something wrong. The problem is, I have 2 sources of data. I imported the first one, it has the single quote infront of it, i imported the second one, it has no single quote infront of it. I want to do a comparison, but I can't because it's different by single quote.
You can open my attachment, and try to replace that ' (single quote) with a space, and excel will complaint that it can't find it. I could go through each one and delete it individually, but consider that there are 5000 cells, it's just a lot of work.
Apostrophe: Fill Out A Table With Some Detail Information
May 25, 2007I use the GetObjects function to gain access to the properties of a mailbox and want to fill out a table with some detail information. The code works fine until I have a mailbox which name has an apostrophe included.
Set o = getobjects("winMgmts:!\VS1
ootMicrosoftExchangeV2:Exchange_Mailbox.LegacyDN='/O=TEST/OU=TEST/cn=Recipients/cn=co'brien',MailboxGUID='{59A40254-9F12-4502-9A03-3FB5CB0BBD38}',ServerName='VS1',StorageGroupName='sg1',StoreName='mb1'")
I highlighted the section that causes the problem. The string within the string is encapsulated in apostrophes, hence the apostrophe in the mailbox name co'brien confuses the code and raises an error. Microsoft provides a solution by using escape characters, but that seems to work only in vbscript, not in vba. Here is a link to Microsoft's solution:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...4/hey1217.mspx
I tried some workarounds that are being used for a similiar problem with SQL statements as well, but again without success - these are the versions I tried:

Keep Leading Zero For CSV File
Oct 17, 2011I've been tasked at work with created a daily CSV upload file for a new system. Typically, the format the raw data comes in is .xls and very untidy (direct from SAP).
As such I have created a small macro which tidys up the spreadsheet, and saves it as a CSV. However, I have only just noticed that for the product codes we have which have a leading zero, the .xls file displays the leading zero without a problem, but in the resultant CSV file they are gone.
The macro I use, is as follows:
Code:
Sub SamplesUpload()
'
' SamplesUpload Macro
'
'
Range("A:A,G:G").Select
Range("G1").Activate
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
[Code] .....
As you can see, it's very crude (I'm a complete nubie when it comes to this) - the Application.Run "PERSONAL.xlsm!CSV" is a small macro which puts double quote marks around all content of any populated cells in column B and the Application.Run "PERSONAL.xlsm!SaveAsCSV" is a small macro which saves the current sheet as a CSV file - code for those as below:
Code:
Sub SaveAsCSV()
Dim DTAddress As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim FullyQualifiedFileName As String
'Get the path to the desired save location
[Code] ........
Code:
Sub CSV()
Dim arrB As Variant: arrB = Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, [B:B]).Value
Dim R As Long
For R = 1 To UBound(arrB, 1)
arrB(R, 1) = """" & arrB(R, 1) & """"
Next R
Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, [B:B]).Value = arrB
End Sub
So, why the leading zeros are not in my CSV file, and how to get them back?
The line which I use to get the leading zeros is:
Selection.NumberFormat = "[>9999]000000;General"
And this is because the only codes which have a leading zero are 6-digits long. Could I maybe add a single ' to the beginning of each cell in column A to make them text, and thus keep the leading zero?
To confirm, the column which contains the product codes is column A.

COUNTIF Ignores Leading Zero's
Nov 12, 2009I have two, technically unique text values, with leading zeros, countif is including them in the count for each.
D17 = 01234
D18 = 1234
formula in column "C"
=IF(D17<>"",COUNTIF('Part Numbers'!B:B,D17),"")
=IF(D18<>"",COUNTIF('Part Numbers'!B:B,D18),"")
both countif's are resulting in 2, whereas they should be 1 since they are textually unique. The cells themselves, on both the source and counting side are formatted as text.
