None of the above method will work because the single quote is not
charecter but is is used as prefix charecter to denote that the cell
contains a txt value.It is not part of cell contents.

Very simple method is there.Just copy the entire range in Notepad.All
single quote will be out.Then again copy paste it in previous range.

But if it is not single quote every other method will work.
