Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

Formula ?

=SUBSTITUTE(C13," ","")

Hi, If you only want to remove the spaces infront of the text string and at the back go to your function button (Fx) on the toolbar. Select all functions and choose "trim". This will take away the space in front and at the back without removing the spaces within the text string.

Hope it helps
