Extra spaces???
Pasting from a web page??? (Maybe extra non-breaking spaces (HTML stuff))

Cell formatted as text??

If it's the non-breaking spaces stuff, visit David McRitchie's site for a
routine that will clean them up:

(look for "Sub Trimall()")

If you still can't find the problem, visit Chip Pearson's site and get his
CellView addin. It should help you check character by character.

enter data, I get a warning that my input contains non-numeric data; however,
it sure looks like numeric data to me. No text, etc. Any help?
