Hi

It is easy to do the above as per https://exceljet.net/formula/compare-two-strings.

My question: Can one do such a comparison without extra spaces in one cell being counted in the comparison? In other words, if the only difference between the 2 cells is an extra space in a sentence, I still want the comparison to say "true".

Thanks.
