It is quite likely that there are special control characters in the cell.
You can use my CellView add-in to determine exactly what is in a cell. See

I have downloaded a file in Excel format and it appears that there are 2
extra spaces at the end of each cell. However, when I tried to replace
the
spaces using a macro, it only removed one of them. I have tried using the
TRIM function, but that isn't working. And when I use the CONCATENATE
function, it puts them together as if there weren't a space.

Could there be a hidden character? How do I "fix" this.

Any ideas, this is driving me bonkers.
