Excel 2002 : How to remove trailing spaces ?
Dear Sir, I have copied a block of references generated by another business system to Excel 2002 worksheet. All the references has 6 trailing spaces immediately after the pasting. A B PKHLA050______ PKHLA051______ PKHLA052______ PKHLA054 PKHLA055 PKHLA056 PKHLA057 May I know is there any formula I can enter at B1 and copy down eliminate the trailing spaces. I need to do this as VLOOKUP formula does not work with references that have trailing spaces. Kind Regards Low A36B58K641 |

And you don't need the plus sign in the function.
=trim(a1) will work just as well and looks cleaner. -- Regards, Fred "Mr. Low" wrote in message ... Dear Gary, Yes, It works by entering formula =TRIM(+A1) at B1.
