how do I remove spaces from cells that were pasted
I am pasting numbers into a spreadsheet, however its treating them as text
because there is a space before the number. How do I remove the space so it treats it as a number ? I have used the =trim() function and its not working. Thanks for any help ! |

Hi!
It sounds like you're copy/pasting from a website. Try this macro from David McRitchie. Look for TRIMALL, it's about half way down the page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/join.htm Biff -----Original Message----- I am pasting numbers into a spreadsheet, however its treating them as text because there is a space before the number.
