Viewing non-printable characters
Hi, I have an excel sheet containing downloaded data from a database. The
database reporting function is not working properly and I thought it may be because the data contains non printable characters such as spaces or carriage returns. I know how to view these in MS word but haven't found an equivalent function in Excel. I had thought of moving all data to Word to identify these but it doesn't pick them up. Do you know if Excel has a function that will display these characters on screen and could you tell me how to use please? Thanks for your help. |
