Remove character at end of data
Yep.
I was curious about which technique the OP used.
The formula (either of them) or the edit|replace with the Lotus 123 setting
toggle.

You could use a helper column and then use a formula like:
=substitute(b1,char(160),"")
(and drag down the column)
to remove all the HTML non-breaking spaces.
Then select that column and do edit|copy
select the original column B and edit|paste special|Values
and delete the helper column.
or...
You could also toggle a Lotus 123 setting.
In xl2003 menus:
Tools|options|Transition tab|check "Transition formula entry"
Then select the range
Edit|replace
what: alt-0160 (hit and hold the alt key while you type 0160 using the
number
pad)
with: (leave blank)
Then toggle that setting off.

I have a column of data in the form of 1-1, 1-2, . 1-123, it has a space
at
the end of the numbers, not really a space, I can copy the "space" and
paste
it in another cell and then use = code and I get a code of 160. how can I
get this out from behind all the data in column B. I have copied the
"space"
and did a replace on the column but then all the cells format as a date,
even if I format the column to text first. How can I do this and not have
the data change to a date?
