Using TRIM Function
Jan 30, 2008I'm trying to clean up a very large spreadsheet that contains a tremendous amount of empty space.
I tried using the TRIM function to delete some of the additional space within each cell, but it only seems to allow you to update one cell/column at a time.
Is there a way to clean up the entire spreadsheet at once?
Find/Replace all spaces won't work because some cells have multiple words, and they need the space in between.
Using Vlookup On Trim Function
May 1, 2014I'm taking 3 very different reports and consolidating them into one manageable readable form. Only problem is that no 1 report has the same info. I've created a key to form pick up the same information that is read differently. As my spreadsheet grows so do the formula issues. I've had one report that has been the biggest pain to break apart. It takes several things and consolidates them, ex: big 2014 girl - dog 20145
I'm using a trim formula to read the last 5 digits that is the only consistent part of the string. =right(J3,5) to trim what i need to read (20145). this formula works. I'm than trying to preform a Vlookup based on what is returned from the trim. The trim number is located in a separate tab as the "key" 20145 = golden Labradors. formula for vlookup that works by itself, but throws up a blank cell when i point it to the trim cell.
=iferror(vlookup($A2,Info!A:ZZ,2,False)" ")
$A2 = the info 20145 from the trim
Info! = is the tab with my 20145 = golden Labradors
A:ZZ = the range in which i need it to find 20145
2 = the second column where it should find 20145 = golden Labradors
False = exact match.
Why my formulas work separately but not when used together? The Vlookup will work if I type in the number 20145. I don't want to type 20145 anymore. I want to use the trim and have the vlookup notice the number pulled from the trim.

Feb 5, 2009Due to the fact that some of the raw data I get dumped out of my database has leading and trailing spaces it is necessary to trim them. The one part of my code which seems to take forever to run is the section which performs this function on around 22,000 cells in one column. Here is the code I'm using. Is there a better way to do this?
'Set ServiceType = wsTmp.Range("C2:C" & tmpRows)
'
'For Each cell In ServiceType
'cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value)
'Next cell
The thing, with much code, seems to be that the slowness of my computer in executing code is directly proportional to the amount of uptime on the machine. Often a cold start will remedy the issue. Rather than having to do this daily to remedy the situation is there some other remedy to the problem?

Trim Macro: Trim All Of The Data From Rows 2:30 Removing Any Trailing Spaces After The Last Word In Each Cell
Apr 25, 2007I 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?

Trim And Clean Function But Formula Doesn't Work?
Jan 31, 2014 I'm coping and pasting data (html) into a worksheet. When I try to format some of the columns as accounting$, number, ect. They won't format. It looks as if there are spaces before and after the data. So I tried the trim and clean function but it doesn't work, so I guess the blank "spaces" are not really spaces.
It gets better...
When I do the same exact copy and paste (as html) on another persons computer, they are able to format just fine, and the "spaces" are removed automatically.
Why is this working on one computer but not the other? Is it a setting that my computer has enabled or disabled? If so, what is it?
Custom Function With Variable Number Of Input Parameters?
May 10, 2013how to create a custom function with an unknown/changing number of input parameters?
Specifically, I need to create a function that will calculate the average of 1,2 or more ranges. I can't use the built-in average function as I then need to use the average in my function.
what I have so far is:
function points(current as range, previous as range)
if previous > current then final=1
if previous < current then final=0
if previous = current then final=2
points=final
end function
This works okay if I only only have 1 range of values. but in my worksheet I need to be able to enter =points(a1,c1:f1,g1) and have the function calculate the average of c1:f1,g1 and compare it to a1.

Dec 18, 2008I want to create a macro that will allow me to highlight a column and have the macro Trim every cell with text in the column, preferably putting the results over the original text. The column in question has text in every cell, until the column ends.
(That is, there are no numbers and no blanks until the data ends altogether.) I do not want to remove internal spaces in the text, just the leading and trailing ones.
I am sure this is fairly simple, but I'm not sure how to get it to look at every cell and then terminate properly.

Trim Text In VBA
Feb 16, 2010I have a small Excel VBA program that pulls data from our company database. I use this to collect information about orders that have been placed. The decriptions of our inventory within our accounting software usually go something like this: [
2/24] Small Red Rose
The [2/24] stands for 24 pieces per case and 2 pieces per inner pack.
My question is... can I trim off the text '[2/24]' within VBA?
I need to create quotes, labels and other things that use these descriptions and don't need to include the information with the brackets.
Obviously within VBA everything is done with variables, such as strDESC for the description.
TRIM + IF Formula
Mar 9, 2009I am trying to make a simple quiz on a spreadsheet which will provide the score immediately the player has finished. Basically a row is as follows:
C5= Question; D5 = player's input answer, E5 = check answer and give score
For example:
in C5 "What colour is a banana?"
The player inputs the answer to D5: yellow
in E5, the answer is tested by a formula and score is given. For this I have a formula IF(D5="yellow",1,0) hence E5 returns either 1 or 0.
Now my problem: If the player inputs one or more spaces, I need to use the TRIM function as well otherwise the answer will be incorrect. How can I work the TRIM with the IF formula?
A thought has just occurred to me that I might have to firstly Copy and TRIM the answer in to E5 and then have the IF condition in F5, but that needs another column and seems a longer way around.
Trim In By The Players
Oct 17, 2009Iam pulling hockey stats from yahoo sports into excel on one tab then i have other tabs as teams and iam pulling the stats from the yahoo sports tab to them
the yahoo tab is called Players but when yahoo bringis in the players names they come with a space in front of them. Now the formula iam using works if i go to the players tab and take the space out but as soon as I refresh the data it puts the space back.
here is what iam using
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(TRIM($D5), Players!$A$1:$A$635,0)),INDEX(Players!NHL_2010_skaters, MATCH(TRIM($D5), Players!$A$1:$A$635,0), MATCH(E$4, Players!$A$1:$AT$1, 0)),0)
I think i have to put trim in by the players but when i try and add it I get formula errors.
Formula To Trim Last Name And First Name?
Apr 30, 2012I'm in need of a formula that would trim a name within a cell to look like this:
name in cell = Doe, John
Result looking for = DoeJoh
or
name in cell = Smith, Robert
Result looking for = SmiRob
The formula would take the first 3 letters of last name and combine them with the first 3 letters of the last name. There is a space after the , and the name would always be consistent with the exampel above.
Also what about a formula that would take a name like Doe, John and transpose it to John Doe.
