‘ added to my phone number column with csv download

Hi All,

 

Hopeing to get some help solving a very annoying problem I have. 


I have a data table that I need to export as a csv fine but when I do this my phone number column which is in the +61 format has a ' added to the start of it. 

if I export as an xlxs file it does not do it but then I have to open and re-save the document each time. 

Any advice on how I can stop the ' being added?

 

Thanks in advance

@BrianI , Just make that column is text column and if needed give a data category

Didn't work unfortunately.

 

I changed it to text and set a data catagory.

 

the value I have in the table is +61410999999 but the output I get from the csv file is '+61410999999
