I have a column that has values in it, space'123456. Is there a paste
special I can use to remove the space and ' , then copy the 123456 to
another cell? I can use a custom format to put in the spaces?

TIA

Try this:

Select "Data" then "Text to Columns" then "Fixed Width." The next page will
allow you to break up the text so that the space and ' will appear in one
cell and the 123456 will appear in another cell. Once you've put the line in
you'll reach a page which will show "destination." Once there you should
pick the cell next to the cell you're trying to change otherwise it will
write over the original cell.

In the cell beside it you can try entering =right(cell reference,6). This
should return only the 6 characters on the righthand side.

if you want a number output, try in the cell you want the value
=VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," '",""))
Do you want spaces? I don't understand the last line of your posting.
