remove some but not all internal spaces
I have several hundred cells of postcode sector data in a column from which I
need to remove the first internal space but not the second. Is there an automatic way to do this? eg "SL 1 1" needs to be "SL1 1" |

One way, using a helper cell with a formula.
=REPLACE(A1&" ",SEARCH(" ",A1&" "),1,"") And drag down as far as you need.
