Remove white spaces in Back
 

Hi
I used =trim(A1) to remove for the front space and it works. Is there a
way to remove the back space after the characters in column.

Remove white spaces in Back
 

The TRIM function removes leading and trailing spaces but not spaces between
words or separate strings in a cell.

Why do you think you still have trailing spaces after using TRIM?

Try this in A1......enter 3 spaces then qwerty then 3 more spaces.

In B1 enter =LEN(A1) should return 10

In A2 enter =TRIM(A1)

In B2 enter =LEN(A2) should return 6

If you are not getting rid of the trailing spaces, perhaps they are HTML
non-breaking spaces....CHAR(160)

You can try editreplace

what: ALT + 0160(from the numpad)

with: nothing

Replace all.
