Good day,

I am recieving a spreedsheet that is set up programmatically in Germany
and the columns are set to certain widths and this is causing problems
when doing a count for names in the column. The column is set to 30
characters and Text; if i have the name "Nel" with a look up it does not
see it as i do not have the spaces ?

If i use the name "Nel" & "27 spaces" then it finds it ?

Could i please have some advise on how to rectify this as i have names
varying in lenght.

Thanks

Tempy

Hi Tempy,

You could trim them all

For Each cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If Not cell.HasFormula Then
cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value)
End If
Next cell

Thanks Bob,

Works great, i only did the required columns though as the spreedsheet
is too big.
