Default how to remove spacing in between text

You don't need a formula
Select the cells with the names
Press CTRL-h to open Find/Replace dialog
enter a comma followed by a space in FIND What
enter only a comma in REPLACE With
Click REPLACE ALL

Do keep a copy before attempting this

-------------------------------------
Pl. click ''''Yes'''' if this was helpful...

Hi Sheelo,

I have who list of names (about 200) need to remove the blank spacing
between comma and First name.

example,

Chan, Lucy-CS
Ahmad, Ali Bin
Lee, Apple
Joe, Daniel

to become

Chan,Lucy-CS
Ahmad,Ali Bin
Lee,Apple
Joe,Daniel

Please advise how to set the formula so that the spacing in the name list
will be removed.

Thanks

If that is the only space you can use Find and Replace
Enter a blank in FIND What
and nothing in REPLACE With

Select the range you want to update and press CTRL-H
