Try a =Trim(A1) to remove trailing spaces. These would be detected by

After the trim, you can Copy - and Paste Special = Values back over the
original data.


Hi Brian,

I've tried a =Len(a1) and it does reveal that a sample field is
length=4, the visible field being '30.5'. However, I've done a trim and
tried paste special, values, to no avail. Checking the same field still
reveals a length of '4'.

Argh! Any more ideas?

Cheers,

Baldy
