I know that there is a TRIM function that delete extra space between words in a cell. How do you delete all space in a cell.
ex. "White Space" == "WhiteSpace" Is there a function for it, that is similiar to TRIM function?
Thank you.

=UPPER(CONCATENATE((TRIM(LEFT(A1,2))),(RIGHT(A1,5))))
eg. ND 10552 = ND10552

This only works if the data you want to keep is in the leftmost two and rightmost five positions in the string. It will turn "White Space" into "WHSPACE" which isn't exactly what Elisa was asking for.

Also, why are you using UPPER?

Still, she'll be deeply moved by the fact that we're still reading her posts after nine years!

You can adjust the "2" to the desired length of your strings. Wont work for different lengths. Unless u use a LEN function somehow....lol ya, i saw it this year only!!
