    Easy way to remove apostrophe from exported Date:Time cells?

    Is there really no easier way to get rid of the apostrophe in exported Date:Time cells? I've tried replace, but can't get Excel to search anything but formulas. Do we really have to use Paste Special Values (couldn't get to work) or Text to Cols? Isn't there a simple way to do this oft-encountered task?

    I see no apostrophes, but I do see date times that are stored as text.

    =D3+0

    in an empty column, copied down, formatting as required will fix that.
