Delete the heading and trailing space at the beginning and at the end with a formula in an excel report
It is to delete the space at the beginning and/or at the end of a word and phrase, so not the spaces between. For the macro version, read Delete the heading and trailing space at the beginning and at the end using a macro in an excel report.
When I use the formula ?
In many times, when I extract data into excel, cells with word have an empty space before or after the word and I need to delete it for other formulas referencing those cells to work.
How to use the formula ?
The formula in this topic is with "," so depending of the operating system of your PC, the formula should have ";" instead of ",".
How are the formulas ?
=TRIM()
=CLEAN()
=SUBSTITUTE()
The first formula should work:
=TRIM(B2)
If it doesn’t work, so I use the combination:
=TRIM(CLEAN(SUBSTITUTE(B3,CHAR(160)," ")))
