Public bug reported:

When I paste some numerical data the cell format is set to "Text".
ALternatively I could type some number into a cell with Text format.

When I change the format to "Scientific" or "Number", a ' gets prepended
to the cell content and is therefore not recognised as a number.

To replicate:

Open calc
Set the cell format to 'Text'
Enter into the cell a numerical value, such as 1 or 1E1
Change the format to Number or Scientific

Note that the cell is shown as left-justified and without an extra ',
and in the function bar it is shown with a ' prepended (e.g. '1 or
'1E1). This bug only occurs when the cell format is set to Text prior to
the content being added.
