What symbol will tell a spreadsheet not to treat a cell like a value?

Answer 1

You the single quote character. To get anything to be treated as text you put it before it. It can be done for numbers or to show formulas as they are, without calculating them. After you've typed it in it will show the value but you won't see the single quote in the cell. Any numbers will left align in the cell, whereas normally they would be right-aligned. It is how you know they are being treated as text and not numbers. So what you could type might be any of the following:

'6
'=10+15
'=SUM(A5:C10)

What each of those would display would be the following:


6
=10+15
=SUM(A5:C10)

Answer 2

In a spreadsheet, the apostrophe symbol (') is used to indicate to the software that the content of a cell should be treated as text and not as a value. When you start the content of a cell with an apostrophe, the spreadsheet will display the content exactly as entered, without performing any calculations or formatting based on the content. This is particularly useful when entering data that includes leading zeros, special characters, or numerical sequences that may be misinterpreted by the spreadsheet software.
