Where do you see that sign?

Can you give an example?

If it is in Excel cell then you can replace it...

The sign is show in excel cell just before the context. The replace method
is doesn't work as the sign could be see on fx (formula bar) but not be see

Ok.

The ' before the value in the cell makes the value in the cell as TEXT so
even if it contains 123 Excel will treat it as a string "123".

To get rid of ' select the Col
Choose Data|Text to columns
Press Next twice
Click on General and click Finish
