Discovering No-BREAK Space in cell Data
Having imported text data from a notepad file into excel as a column (A1:A5)
I had the word "eating" in A1 cell. Using the formula =IF(A1="eating",TRUE,FALSE) in B1 gave FALSE Also =IF(A1="eating ",TRUE,FALSE) in B1 gave FALSE (note the extra blank after the ing ) However typing eating into cell A1 gives TRUE Using =MID(A1,7,1) returns a blank cell which has character code value of 160 (ASCII decimal) and from the INSERT/SYMBOLS Tabe it says it is a "NO_BREAK SPACE" How do I find all such possible occurences in my data since it can "ruin" and confuse expected search results? |
