I have a worksheet with formulas that extract numbers from cells so that I can use VLOOKUP in another worksheet. When I copy and Paste Special to a clean column I keep getting this character ( ' ) in front of the number. Once this happnes the VLOOKUP will not work. Is there something I can do to remove that character besides TRIM or CLEAN, as that just creates another cell with a formula and again VLOOKUP will not recognise the number in those cells.
Thanks,
