show apostrophe / single quote in cell

[Beans]

Is is possible to have excel show an apostrophe / single quote in cell. I
know you can use it to force text, however, I would like the character to
display in the cell.

Ex. Cell displays Hg and I would like it to display 'Hg'

Thanks,
Chad

Type this ''Hg' (all three are single quotes)

the first one is what forces excel to show the text exactly as you type it,
so the rest will be what is visible.

Thanks

start your text with a pair of single quotes and it your text with one single
quote.
