Excel

Hi Faye

Thanks for getting in touch. This is a common problem. To fix this you will need a spare column where you can enter a new formula to remove the excess spaces.

In the spare column, use the TRIM function to clean up the cell. Assuming your piece of data is in cell A1, it will look like this:

=TRIM(A1)

The cleaned-up result will be left in the cell. Now of course you can fill the formula down the rest of your data.

To tidy it up you will probably want to Copy and Paste Special > Values to be left with the result rather than the formula.

Kind regards
