How to remove the 2 apostrophe while scannig the barcode
Hi All,
I hope all are doing great
I just wanted to check how I can remove the 2 apostrophes from my cell value as I scanned the barcode and I got this value ''0987654321. As I used the VALUE formula but it is not working for apostrophes.
Thanks for the help!
Thanks,

I don't know a lot about barcode scanning.. But could you create a helper column that uses a mid() formula or a right() formula? Right formula if the number of numbers after the " is always the same, otherwise use the mid formula. You could also use =SUBSTITUTE([barcodecolumn]@row, "\"", "") -- If they are actually apostrophes take out the \" and put two apostrophes in between the quotes.

No problem @Kaveri Vipat
I'm assuming the reason the apostrophe is there because in a barcode you need the leading 0, but as a number a leading zero will be removed because it's not needed.
Make sure you are aware of that if you remove the apostrophe.
