layhui, Good morning.

After you remove dash from that cell, probably all the content was left-aligned.
I suppose the signal apostrophe stays in a content.

When this happen, a RED triangle appears at left indicating that there is a error at this cell.

If you click on it, will appears a message that there is a NUMBER with text format at that cell.
Appears a option to "Convert this to number".
Try to choose this one.

If after it a number is converted to Scientific format don't worry about it.
Format Menu and choose NUMBER.

Please tell us if it worked for you.
