I'm in need of some VBA code (to be included in a Macro) that will automatically use the TRIM function for all cells in a whole column and that will then replace the values in that column with the resulting TRIM values. I have a LOT of individual files with varying #'s of records in them, so a way that will address all of them (all the cells in the specified column due to varying #'s of records) would be best.
View 3 RepliesI have come up with this to Trim all of the data from rows 2:30 removing any trailing spaces after the last word in each cell. The macro takes a couple of minutes to run have I got something wrong that is making it run slowly or does the Trim process just take longer?
Sub TRIM_RANGE()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myRow As Range
Sheets("CAMPAIGNS_2007").Select
Set myRange = Range("2:30")
If myRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
myRange.Replace What:=Chr(160), Replacement:=Chr(32), _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
For Each myRow In myRange.Columns
If Application. CountA(myRow) > 0 Then
myRow.TextToColumns Destination:=myRow(1), _
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array(0, 1)
End If
Next myRow
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
On a regular basis I have to upload cost to our order system. These cost are sent to me by the suppliers, and the part numbers have to match exactly, (from the excel sheet to the order system), or else the cost won't upload.
I have found that in some of my upload files there is a space, or sometimes several spaces, at the end of the part number. These spaces will screw up the upload. I alwyas use the "Replace" option to replace spaces with nothing, and that usually works.
In the attached sample file, there are 3 part numbers with a space at the end of the part number. I tried using the replace option. That didn't work. I also tried using the =TRIM() formula and the =CLEAN() formula, and neither of those removed the spaces. Why can't I remove the spaces from the end of these part numbers?
Normally I would use trim or substitute to get rid of the spaces from the data. However, this time, they all don't work.
some samples below. : some numbers are text version, some are numerical numbers.
So, are there any other ways to get rid of the leading space as well?

I have some cells containing imported text with a lot of leading spaces. I try to get rid of them by TRIM'ing those cells, but it doesn't work.
Is TRIM only for trailing spaces?

I know about the function TRIM, but that only works at the start or end, I need something simple to trim the extra space between two words.
My V-lookups are not working. I have data with extra spaces before or after the word. The table I am looking up does not have extra spaces. I'm trying to to a TRIM(data with spaces) and then copy and paste the values so that the spaces go away and the TRIM is not taking my spaces out.

I currently have the following macro, but when I run it, it checks every cell in the active worksheet which cause the application to hang.

I've created spreadsheet to look after scores & handicaps in a golf society. I'm trying to add extra spaces so that if new members join they can easily be added without me having to add all the extra rows,change formulas at the time.
However I'm getting stuck when trying to sort the table in 'Championship Leaderboard' sheet, basically I only want to sort actual playing members, not the ones marked 'Test'. I've only marked them as 'Test' whilst trying to do this, but they will be blank eventually.
Error values keep popping up, and as a result it won't sort. Trying to get rid of error values to equal 'zero' create problems elsewhere and I just seem to be going round in circles and getting nowhere.
Basically unless a new member is added i don't want anything to appear in the spreadsheet. But i don't want the formulas etc which are there in readiness to affect existing player entries and data
Is VBA the answer or can it be done with formulae etc,
Please refer to attached file.
Column A have data and i need VB Code (Not formula) to check each cell in column A and delete any spaces and make sure that there is no spaces after end of the text.
As an example you can see Cell cell A15 thru A22 have spaces after the text so need to delete those spaces

I am trying to get rid of some extra spaces at the end of a word in a cell.
As shown in the following code I have tried different functions to get remove them, but they are not working. Are those not spaces?
The cell has this word : "LPPJ4K2**" ' in excel the * appear as a white space
Code:
Filler = "LPPJ4K2**" ' this word is actually is in a cell
Filler = Trim(Filler) ' Not working
Filler = Application.Trim(Filler) ' Not working
Filler = Replace(Filler, " ", "") ' Not working

View 14 Replies View Relatedto trim leading and trailing spaces from values I'm getting from a For Next routine. I'm using c as my variable and Trim(c.value) as the operation.
There are other routines that search for the explicit string that's the result of the trimmed value and some can't be found because the trim as I'm using it isn't trimming.
I have a macro which opens one excel file, then copies the data into another, dead easy. However the first file is 'downloaded' from a bespoke package, where (for whatever reason) the package appends a number of spaces (" ") after data in one of the columns,
So sometimes the data will contain one, ten or more extra spaces (no telling how many) ie, it could look like "AB ", "AB ", or "AB " etc
Ideally What i need is a small bit of code that once the data has been imported to my sheet it can run and 'strip' extra spaces from the column, lets say column f, to leave all the data in this column to look like:
"AB"
"AF"
"CD1"
"VFE"
I am drawing a blank, any simple lines of code?
I have a table of postcodes and I need to import them into a bespoke application. The aaplication requires them to have extra spaces depending on the postcode i.e.
BS35 2JW - this is fine because it has the maximum amount of characters 8
BS1 2JW - I need to add 1 space
B1 2JW - I need to add 2 spaces
I've been using =TRIM for a while... but just tried FIND "space bar" REPLACE "nothing" and it works fine and takes about 1/10 the time.

The values are correct. However, the excess amount of spaces is not. Using the Write function just encases everything in quotation marks. Replacing spaces isn't a good solution because the first row MUST be in that format, and removing all spaces would require more code to put spaces back in. Is there a way to get rid of all the excess spaces surrounding each value?

I am trying to record a macro, using the macro recorder, that will trim the contents of the cells in one column. The starting cell will always be E12 and the ending cell will vary depending on the number of records that month.
After I select cell E12, I hold down the shift key and hit end and then the down arrow to get my range. After that, I'm trying to use the Insert - Function from the menu to setup the trim but can't get it to work.
the Ruler across the top that allows you to adjust the column widths (A B C D etc). Is it possible to insert another Ruler, further down the same page, to allow you to adjust the column width differently. if so how. On Excel 2007

I have two sets of two columns which contain numbers as text with trailing spaces and I want to concatenate column A and B and concatenate column F and G, and then compare them, and sumif value in column I if they are the same - giving the answer in the same row as the matching data in column A and B.. but in column J.
I’ve seen sum product and haven’t been able to get it to work at all. I have been adding the trim() function in around the column references to see if that would work but am failing…
A = 2000 text
B = 1234 text
F = 2000 trailing spaces, text
G = 1234 trailing spaces, text
I = 10,000
Answer in column J
I want 20001234 = 20001234 = 10,000 for the whole column.
I don't want to change the original data as its externally sourced and used for other links etc.. This would save a few hours a week if i ( more correctly, you ) could get this to work.
