Default Deleting spaces

If, as Pete has pointed out, you have non-breaking characters (ASCII 160) by
themselves, **or** in addition to trailing blanks, you can use this macro (a
modification of the one I posted earlier) to handle both...

Sub RemoveTrailingBlanks()
Dim C As Range
For Each C In Selection
C.Value = RTrim(Replace(C.Value, Chr(160), ""))
Next
End Sub

Can you make use of a macro in your workbook? If so, right click the
worksheet tab, select View Code from the pop up menu that appears and
copy/paste the following into the code window that appears...

Sub RemoveTrailingBlanks()
Dim C As Range
For Each C In Selection
C.Value = RTrim(C.Value)
Next
End Sub

Go back to the worksheet, select all the cells you want to remove trailing
blanks from (it is alright to select a range containing cells both with
and without trailing blanks, the code will not be bothered by such a
mixture), key in Alt+F8, select RemoveTrailingBlanks from the list and
click the Run button.

How can I delete all spaces after the last non-space character in each
cell?


Excel's TRIM function does a little more than you mentioned, but it might
be what you want.


TRIM removes ALL extra spaces in the cells (not just at the end).
