Thumbs up Answer: Test to see if cell contains a space?

Hi Rick,

You can use the
Code:
FIND
function in Excel to check if a cell contains a space. Here's how:
  1. Select the cell where you want to check for a space.
  2. In the formula bar, type the following formula:
    Code:
    =FIND(" ",A1)
  3. Press Enter.

If the cell contains a space, the formula will return the position of the space in the cell. If the cell does not contain a space, the formula will return the
Code:
#VALUE!
error.

You can also use the
Code:
ISNUMBER
function to check if the
Code:
FIND
function returns a number. Here's how:
  1. In another cell, type the following formula:
    Code:
    =ISNUMBER(FIND(" ",A1))
  2. Press Enter.

If the cell contains a space, the formula will return
Code:
TRUE
. If the cell does not contain a space, the formula will return
Code:
FALSE
.
