Hi

Copy the code below into a module, highlight your problem cells, press
Alt/F8 and run the macro:

Sub trimit()

For Each c In Selection
c.Value = Trim(c.Value)
Next

End Sub

Another way is to trim the cells in another row then copy, paste special,
values over the top or original data. However, this won't work on a formula
as it will copy the value over the formula.

I'm looking for a better way to get rid of the spaces directly before and
after the values in my cells. When I double click the values, I see the
cursor blinking one space to the right of the data, like this: 'Sales .
The
period is where the cursor sits blinking. Without double clicking the
cell,
it says: Sales No cursor appears on the unactivated cell (obviously).
I
know about the "TRIM" function in order to get rid of before and after
spaces, but I don't want to have to move the data around in order to do a
vlookup. I tried using Find & Replace, but that only helps me find values
that are not formula. Is there a way to replace the spaces on the
outside?
Any push in the right direction would be very appreciated.
