Removing spaces from cells
I have a very large spreadsheet--like 35,000 items long including 12-digit
UPC. The problem alot of them have spaces in between the numbers. We need to import without any spaces. Anything built into excel to do this easily--or is it better to just buy the add-in. |

Removing spaces from cells
A simple Find/Replace should do the trick.
Select your range of UPC numbers From the Edit Menu, choose "Replace" In the Find What field, type a space In the Replace With field, leave it blank Click on Replace All HTH, Elkar "CathyD" wrote: I have a very large spreadsheet--like 35,000 items long including 12-digit UPC.

Or you can use the Edit/Replace <space for <nothing --ron |

assuming your code in in A1. in B1 write =CLEAN(A1) and drag it down. you
can then copy and paste special|values. Does that work? "CathyD" wrote in message ... I have a very large spreadsheet--like 35,000 items long including 12-digit UPC.

CLEAN will not remove spaces nor invisible html characters
