VBA to delete leading space
I have a column of data that has a leading blank in each cell. Does someone
have a code example that I can use to delete this leading space? I have spaces between data in these cells and just need to delete the leading space on the left hand side of each cell. Any and all replies are greatly appreciated. |

In an adjacent column use this formula =Right("RefCell', Len("RefCell") - 1) That should lop off the leading blank. SteveM |
VBA to delete leading space
The LTrim function removes spaces on the left of a String. For example,
Sub RemoveLeadingSpace() Dim R As Range Application.EnableEvents = False On Error GoTo ErrH: If TypeOf Selection Is Excel.Range Then For Each R In Selection.Cells If R.HasFormula = False Then R.Value = LTrim(R.Value) End If Next R End If ErrH: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Excel Product Group, 1998 - 2008 Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email on web site) "CB" wrote in message ...

Is this a one time fix or something to be done repeatedly?
One time: place formula in cell and fill down. =RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-1) If this is going in a macro then it will work quite similar. Public Sub remove_space() Dim c As Range ' Cell For Each c In ActiveSheet.Range("A:A") If Len(c) 0 Then c = Mid(c, 2) End If Next c End Sub Cheers, Jason Lepack On Jan 17, 10:54 am, CB wrote: I have a column of data that has a leading blank in each cell.
