How does one remove hidden quotation marks from cells? I have a file where numbers don't appear to have quotation marks but when opened in notepad, you see the numbers in quotation marks such as "20,000". How do I remove these hidden quotation marks?

Have you tried Find / Replace.
Put a quote mark in the Find Box, leave the Replace box empty>> Replace All

Hi,

If the Text numbers are all in the same column(s), you can also use Text-to-Columns.
Select the entire column,
Select "Text to Columns", in "Data" tab
Click "Finish"

Select "Text to Columns", in "Data" tab
Click "Finish"
I would recommend clicking Next before the Click Finish and checking that none of the delimiters have been selected as Text To Columns retains a memory from any previous use.
