I am trying to remove all the spaces from a cell so that I can create a
single word. For example, in A1, I have "HOT DOG" then in A2, I would
like "HOTDOG."

The only function I know that comes close to this is TRIM, but that
still leaves single spaces in between.

Thanks for the help people.

Hi

Select the range with entries, you want to clean from all spaces. From menu,
activate Replace dialog. Replace all spaces (" ") wit nothing.

Perhaps this will work for you:

For text in A1

B1: =SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")

Does that help?

Ron

Hi!

Try this:

=SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")

Or, you could use EditReplace and do this in-place and not have to use a
helper cell/column.

Select the cell(s) in question
Goto EditReplace
Find what: enter a space by hitting the spacebar
Replace with: nothing, leave this blank
Replace all

Would have helped if I included all the damn arguments (Last one is
optional).

=substitute(text,old_text,new_text,instance_num)

=SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")
