What are you looking to do that TRIM won't do?

HTML has a habit of leaving junk in cells. Non-breaking spaces for one.

To clean up the junk you can use TRIM and CLEAN and EditReplace if you know
which character it is.

Download Chip Pearson's CELLVIEW add-in from

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/CellView.htm

Load through ToolsAdd-ins.

Select the data and Chip's add-in will show you what the characters are.

If carriage returns you may be able to Replace them using ALT + 0010 or 0013

Most likely David McRitchie's TRIMALL macro will be of greatest assistance.
Cleans up what TRIM and CLEAN miss.
