I still find myself replacing lost apostrophes for this very reason.

An apostrophe at the beginning of a cell is treated as a special control 
character that forces the rest of the contents of the cell to be read 
literally, not interpreted. For instance, something that looks like a 
date but isn't can be forced to keep its correct form instead of being 
converted into a date.
