Removing Space
 
Hi Everyone,

I have phone number recorded in very messy way in column D1:D45000

some numbers have spaces inbetween

i.e. 029873 0982

How do I remove those spaces?

I tried going into Ctrl + F - Replace " " to "" but it did not work.


Help please~~

Thank you


Regards

James

Removing Space
 
When you enter text into the Find and Replace boxes, you do not need
to put quotes. So, select the column, CTRL-H, then:

FIND: type a single <space
REPLACE: leave blank
Click Replace All

Note that you will probably lose the leading zero unless you pre-
format the cells as text.

Hope this helps.
