how do I insert a single quote on every cell in a column to make .

[Cindy]

I am trying to make all of the cells in a particular column (they are filled
with numbers) alphanumeric and left justified by putting a single quote in
front of each cell. I don't want to type the quote on each cell. How can I
do this without typing in each cell?

Insert a column next to the col ; enter the below formula; copy down as
required.
=CHAR(39) & A1

Would be interesting to know what you are looking at...

Do you really need the apostrophe?
a) select he cells and use Format | Cells | Text
OR
b) select the cells and click the left align tool
