Hi Dave,

If you're looking for a simple worksheet formula then SUBSTITUTE should work.

For your example write in a cell:
=SUBSTITUTE(G3," ","")



If you're using VBA then lookup the REPLACE method in the VBA help, that
should work for you.

First, I have a confession to make: I actually searched the available answers
first (using search text: "remove space from text in cell"). Nothing there
fit my simpler problem:

Cell G3 contains "Herkimer, Mortimer". I need to get rid of that space
("Herkimer,Mortimer") becaise I am about to search with the result into a
different WB where the data is stored without spaces.

My bet is that there's a really simple function for this <g!
