where "A1" is the 'text' cell. But that one will fail too, because the initial single quotation mark is not really part of the content of the cell. (Note: it might work in some particular situation, but it is not a generic method.) The 'VALUE' method is a valid workaround, but it might be a "heavy" method, depending on the amount of data. I would prefer the "'paste special'+multiply by 1" method to work.
