Default removing a space between words in a cell


I am trying to figure out how to remove a space between two words in one
cell.

ex: dog house ---- doghouse

Once I figure that out I want it to look through a lot of cells and if
they have a space take it out (above) and if not leave it the way it
is.

Thanks for any help available,
Jen

assuming you only have one space per cell to eliminate, use this formula
in another cell (say B1):

B1=LEFT(A1,(FIND(" ",A1)-1))&MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,LEN(A1)-(FIND("
",A1)))

of course, adjust the cell reference to meet your needs.

A1=dog house returns: doghouse in B1

A LOT easier formula is:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")
