I have a spreadsheet that was saved as a text file from HTML and opened with
excel. I then use Text to Columns to parse the information into cells.
However, some lines include a leading non-printing character that screws up
the Text to Columns by moving everything on that line over 1 space. How can
I remove only that leading non-printing character without changing the
spacing the rest of the line? I have tried using CLEAN - but all the spacing
is changed.
