Why does not Excel 2003 Replace comand romove spaces from cell contents?
 

Hello
Why does not Excel 2003 Replace command remove spaces from cell contents? Is
there any other way than the trim function to remove spaces after numbers in
cells?

Replace should remove spaces - highlight your cells then CTRL-H. In the
"Find What" panel enter a single space, in the "Replace With" panel
leave this empty, then click Replace All and your spaces should have
gone.

If you have spaces after a number in a cell (and therefore the cell
contains text), you can convert it to a number in another cell by means
of:

=VALUE(A1)

and copy this down if necessary.

Hope this helps.

I'll guess from the incomplete information you've posted, that you've imported
your numbers from an HTML source (i.e. the web) and what you think is a <space
is really a <non-break-space

That being the case, in the Find box of the Replace command, try entering the
nbsp code -- hold down <alt and, from the numeric keypad, type 0160; then
release the <alt button. Leave the Replace box blank.

Thanks Pete!
The Replace does not remove a space after a number in a cell. The cells are
in the text format.
