You need to be very careful with that code because it can wipe out formulas,
replacing a formula with a value. *Also, it would be good practice to turn
off events:


On Error GoTo ErrH:
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each cell In rng
* * If cell.HasFormula = False Then
* * * * cell = *Trim(cell)
* * End If
Next cell
ErrH:
Application.EnableEvents = True- Hide quoted text -


- Show quoted text -


Thanks for the assistance. Another question please...some of the
cells in this range start with a 0, ie 0345681. After trying the
suggested code, it is removing the leading zeros. How can these cells
be treated as text so the zero stays in tact?
