remove trailing spaces
I have imported a file that has an undetermined number of spaces after a text
entry. I need to strip those spaces out so my Vlookup will work. Really appreciate any help. Example Cell A1 - contents Z01000 (plus 3 blanks) need to have just Z01000. |

Hi
Try a helper column with =TRIM(A1) in it. Hope this helps. Andy. "les8" wrote in message ... I have imported a file that has an undetermined number of spaces after a text entry.

You can use Find and Replace. Put a space in find and nothing in replace.
