Thanks for your help...

Adding in Characters Either Once or Twice.
The correct answers are highlighted in green.
As you can see, there are either one or two underlines added.
I have the correct answer, but I need a drag-down formula please.

You can detect when to add them because basically you are substituting the space with an underline.

Thanks!

My formula in Post #5 will Remove All extra spaces in between substrings, allowing for only 1 space, Then substitute with an underline ( _ ).
Unless, you have Hidden characters.

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Are you sure my formula in Post #5 didn't solve your problem?
The TRIM function solved your other post here:

So this is just substituting the Spaces after the TRIM.

@rebel123 - your own post that you marked as the solution doesn't contain a solution. However, post #5 obviously solves the problem by using the TRIM function that removes multiple adjacent spaces. Therefore, I switched the solution post to help future readers.

If you have another solution of your own then please post it, then it is perfectly fine to mark your own post as the solution.
