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.

remove trailing spaces
 

Hi

Try a helper column with
=TRIM(A1)
in it.

Hope this helps.
Andy.

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