How do you remove trailing spaces withour Trim function?
Hi.
How do you remove trailing spaces? I have copied over some statement data from my online banking with HSBC. Column A has all the debits. Column B has all the credits. Column C has the current balance. Column A somehow has values stored as text and the values have trailing spaces. For example, instead of "34.22" there is "34.22 " inserted. This means that I cannot make any calculations on the numbers in column A. I have tried using the Trim function to remove the trailing space, but even after a paste values, the space is still there. Does anyone have any other ideas? The method I used was to put in column D, =trim(a1). Then in column E I pasted values from column D. I noticed that the spaces were still there, which means converting to a number did not work. Any help would be appreciated as I have many many rows of data. Thank you. |
