I have a two full columns of data that I need to trim. I can see the extra space at the end, but it's not a simple space from the spacebar. This data is downloaded from an Oracle database which as the source, I have no control over.

I used =CODE(RIGHT(V2)) to see what the space is and I get the value of 9. Is this the right way to determine what the character and the end is?

Here is what the data looks like.

BMOEAE
BMOEA0
BMOEAC

How can I use VBA to trim column V and column Z in one shot?
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Try
Code:
Sub FryGirl()
Range("V:V,Z:Z").Replace Chr(9), "", xlPart, , , , False, False
End Sub

Are there always 6 characters then the Oracle character, whatever it is?

Why not just use LEFT to take the left-most 6 or use SUBSTITUTE to change that code to whatever else you wan it to be?

@Fluff, Thank you that works great.

@ Kweaver, column z is 8 characters, but Fluff's code did it. Thanks.
