Hi David
Thanks again.
I'm running Excel 2003, and the TRIMALL Macro is running in its own workbook.
The only alteration I made to the macro was that I put "Option Explicit"
above the Sub TRIMALL.
regards
Dave

Hi Dave,
I think the error "that name is not valid" but I couldn't find what triggers
such an error.

Are you running other macros okay.
What version of Excel.
Did you modify the macro.

If you are using Excel 95 change xlCalculationAutomatic to xlAutomatic

Hi David
Thanks for your help, i've tried your TRIMALL Macro you suggested but unable
to make it work. Error message "THAT NAME NOT VALID" when I run the Macro.
Any further assistance you can give me would be appreciated.

Hi Dave,

You almost have it the
TRIM Worksheet Function

But you might want to use a macro so that you can make the change
in the column or other selected cells.

As opposed to using a worksheet function, using copy, then paste special, values,
before you can eliminate the original cells.

see the TrimALL macro and notes that go with it in

How can I trim the last space from text but leave the other spaces intact
ie:- Red Lancer (IRE) Red Lancer(IRE)
Torrent (IRE) Torrent(IRE)

Sir Edward Landseer (FR) Sir Edward Landseer (FR)

I've tried =SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","") but this trims all the spaces out.
Any help will be welcomed.
