Solution

  • The way I'd do this is:

    • In Cell L2, enter the formula ="'"&K2
    • Use the fill handle or Ctrl+D to fill it down to the length of Column K's values.
    • Select the whole of Column L's values and copy them to the clipboard
    • Select the same range in Column K, right-click to select 'Paste Special' and choose 'Values'
