    Thank you. This has got to be the biggest frustration in Excel! I was just about to give up even after trying the TRIM function which didn't delete all the spaces. I used the =RIGHT function to identify the extra spaces at the end of the cells and had to manually delete them!

      Hi Tommy. I totally agree! Sometimes we need to deal with hard-spaces that TRIM doesn't remove. You might like to check out my vide on these. You can find it here th-cam.com/video/GaXpC6i_YtU/w-d-xo.html. I hope it's helpful to you.

    It isn't working for me. I have a column of over 500 links to our companies' internal files and I can't get that 1 trailing space to go away. To be clear all these files are coming from 1 agent. The files from other agents I can trim just fine. They are all on the same spreadsheet when they come to me to work. So confused.

      She didn't actually tell us how to remove the space from the column. Confusing title.

    If we want only remove space form the right "Steve Job "" then?

    • @ExcelatWork
      @ExcelatWork  ปีที่แล้ว

      The Trim function will only remove unnecessary spaces. This means that the space between Steve and Job will remain, but the unnecessary space to the right will be removed.
