Remove a character from cell and copy into "helper" column

I have data from a data shuttle that is coming in and applying a ' in front of numerical values. an example is '2489 I need to remove the ' for some formulas to work properly. There are other cells that come in with text that does not have the ' so I cant just simply remove the first character and copy it over to a helper column. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Perhaps try the value function.
=VALUE([Column Name]@row will change '2489 to 2489.
Hope this helps!
