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. Pete |

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. --ron |

Thanks Pete!
The Replace does not remove a space after a number in a cell. The cells are in the text format. "Pete_UK" ???????/???????? ? ???????? ?????????: oups.com...
