            Bug ID: 64696
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Can't change cell from text to number
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Spreadsheet
           Product: LibreOffice

I brought in a .csv file in and saved it.  The data column a currency say
$1.00. First, I deleted the $.  Next I used format cell and turned it to number
format.  Instead of becoming a number a ' showed up and the cell remain text. 
Example
$1.00 became '1.00.  The only way I've found to change the text to number
format is to go in and hand edit every incidence 'xxx which is very time
consuming. If I leave the $ and use format cell and choose currency the cell
goes from $1.00 to '$1.00.  The text symbol does not seem to be searchable for
find and replace.
