The apostrophe indicates that the data is to be treated as text - that shouldn't be a problem unless you want to use SUM or some other mathematical functions on the data<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Every one of my cells starts with an apostrophe. You can't actually see it, in the cell, but when you look double click into the cell, it shows up. I downloaded this from a website.<br />
<br />
How do I get rid of it? Is it s problem or will the cells still work properly?<br />
<br />
Thanks!
