I have a column of numbers that are in ascending order: '1005849011050 '1005849011051 '1005849011052 '1005849011053 '1005849011054 '1005849011055 '1005849011056 '1005849011057 They are all led by an apostrophe that I'd like to remove. How would I use the trim statement to do this? THANKS! Hi! I have a column of numbers that are in ascending order:
