Data cleansing

I have a funny situation where data is stored with " ". Double quotes for all the values. I am wondering if there is a way to get rid of it easily. the problem is it exists for all the columns and rows of data.

 

like 

"Coutnry"

"USA"

"JAPAN"

"GERMANY"

 

"Revenue"

"200000"

"600000"

"800000"

You could use the purgechar function in your load script:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/12.1/Subsystems/Client/Content/Scripting/StringFunctions/PurgeC...

For example purgechar([Your Field], chr(34))

(n.b. chr(34) is a double quote character)
