Removing Spaces After Semicolons
Aug 20, 2009
I have cells in a sheet containing varying numbers of items separated by semicolons. I want to convert these to columns using text to columns. The trouble is there are spaces after each semicolon, and I don't know how to get rid of them. I believe this may be compounded by the fact that the cells containing varying numbers of items. When I convert to columns I don't want each cell in the new columns to start with spaces. I'm attaching an example of what I mean (sanitized with fast food joint names).

I need to do a lookup on these cells but for some reason they all appear to have some kind of space characters in each cell which you can see if you double click on them. I have tried trims, text to columns, find replaces and none of these seem to work
I have a huge list of these numbers / codes and they all have the weird space kind of characters at the end
Can anyone give me a solution on how to remove them so my lookup will work?

Spaces after entries keep messing up my VLOOKUPS. I get a lot of data from other people and when they have entered the information in some of the entries have a space after the word which mess up the results of my vlookups. Is there an easy way of going through and removing spaces after a word? Not all the words have spaces after them.

I have a column with 11 digit numbers formatted as text (Column C) and it seems like there's three spaces after the number (In Sheet A). I am trying to do a vlookup comparing Sheet A to Sheet B. It's not working and not sure if it's the extra spacing in the cell of Sheet A that's causing the Vlookup not to work.
I would like to compare both lists to see what UPC's are on both sheets. Any ideas how I can do this?
In Sheet A, Column C contains UPC (11 digits) 07845968952
In Sheet B, Column E contains UPC (11 digits)

I have some data that is seperated by spaces. I need to split the data so each is in a seperate cell and then remove the spaces. I can do this if there is only one space inbetween the data, but that is not always the case. I attach a workbook with examples.

I'm compiling several old worksheets into a single database for a research study. The worksheets contain patient data. Some of the worksheets have the patient's last name, first name, and middle initial entered all in one cell like this: Smith,John R. Compounding the problem is the fact that sometimes the name is entered with a space between the comma and the first name, sometimes not.
I have formulas to break the name out into three separate columns "lName, "fName", "midInit". However, if the name in the original cell has a space between the coma and the first name, then the “fname” column will contain a blank space in front of the name. This is problem because patients names can appear in the database more than once. Some patients are in the database several times.
If patient “John R. Smith”, for example, is entered in the database as”
“Smith” “John” “R “
and also as
“Smith” “<space>John” “R”
then the database won’t recognize them as the same name when I search for John Smith’s data. Right?
If so, then I need a way to eliminate the empty spaces in front of the first names. Like I said, some have empty spaces and some don’t. I could do this by hand, but there are over 1000 entries in these worksheets.

I have an Excel file with several worksheets and each of those worksheets has over 600 rows (a list of employees) and above or under 30 columns. Most of cells have trailing spaces in them and they vary in length. For example:
B5: "Jacobson "
C5: "jacobson@jacobson.org "
(Seems like it's not allowing me to post long gaps between the last letters and the "
I'm aware of the TRIM function and know that I could at least get a column or a few copied with the spaces removed. However, it would just take so much time. What would be the most efficient way of getting rid of all the trailing spaces in all the cells in all the columns in all the worksheets?

I 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

I am creating a small function that should create a new login for future users. The login is 7 characters long. Spaces in that name (in cell A1 eg) should be removed? But how do I do this?
How do I remove the space in the name: "De Castro Imelda". Apparently the function TRIM does not help me much. Either I use the wrong function, or I my syntax is not good...

I'd like to create a formula that pulls text between two spaces. For example:
"Execute Transaction ZZ01 " - I'd like the formula to output ZZ01
Execute Transaction is always at the beginning of the text I'd like to pull. So another example:
"Execute Transaction ZZ01_another_test " - I'd like the formula to output ZZ01_another_test
Execute Transaction can either be Execute Transaction or Execute transaction as well.
Is there an easy way to do this with a formula?

I have a range of cells in column A... it's called SPACE. The code should be if the value in each cell is equal to "1" and select the NEXT row and INSERT an empty space.
Then keep going down the range to find the next "1", and add a space... but if it's not equal to one, keep going. Essentially I'm grouping data, with new data sets being indicated by the "1", and need to put an empty row in between the data sets.

I have an instance where I have a list of numbers in different rows with different amounts and I want to add up the last 6 numbers, they're all in the same column however they're not all in consecutive rows.
Also, the gaps between the rows is not consistent.
The example below explains what I mean (I've add numbers in between so you can see the varying gaps, but they're actually blank cells)
(B1)ADD ME = 2
(B2)**blank cell**
(B3)**blank cell**
(B4)**blank cell**
(B5)**blank cell**
(B6)ADD ME = 5
(B7)**blank cell**
(B8)**blank cell**
(B9)**blank cell**
(B10)**blank cell**
(B11)**blank cell**
(B12)**blank cell**
(B13)**blank cell**
(B14)**blank cell**.........................

I am trying to remove spaces in front of a number (currently formatted as text)
I have tried "Text to Columns", "Trim", and other suggestions in previously threads.
I have copied bank statement amounts from an e-mail and the $ amounts have one Space in front of them. When I use the Trim function, and then a paste special, I still cannot get rid of the space, and so cannot add up the amounts in this column.
Ex:
*7 Dec 2007*DEPOSIT*3,917.63
*7 Dec 2007*DEPOSIT*1,890.58

I've got a problem with a report that we need to manipulate in Excel. the report details the man hours each of our analysts has spent on calls and reports in the following format HH:MM:SS. However, the report comes out with a space after 'SS', so I need to trim this in order for excel to calculate total and average fix times. Cells are formatted to custom [H]:MM:SS.
With over 200 records requiring trimming per report, is there a formula that I can apply to this? I have tried =trim("Cell number") but this doesn't work.

I have columns that are defined with these width's:
A - 9B - 1C - 12D - 12
I need a macro that would add spaces to the right of the cell if the cell does not have number of characters of the lenght of the column width.
For instance:
Cell A1 has 5 characters so it would need 4 spaces.
Cell A2 has 7 characters so it would need 2 spaces.
Cell B1 has 1 character so it would NOT need a space.
Cell B2 has 0 characters so it would need 1 space.

Assume cell A1 contains a set of words. If cell B1 contained the following formula, the contents of cell A1 will be shown in B1, minus the last word.
=If(ISNUMBER( FIND(" ",A1)),LEFT(A1, LOOKUP(32768,FIND(" ",A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1)))))),A1)
However, the space or gap before the word that has been removed will be present in cell B1.
eg. If A1 = "how are you", then B1 will = "how are ".
I need this space to be removed too.
ie. B1 = "how are"

I have a sub that works just fine, but I need to test it for blanks.
Sub AddToComment()
Dim rCell As Range
Dim cCom As Comment
Sheets("Support Detail").Select
With Range("e5")
.ClearComments
Set cCom = .AddComment
End With
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
For Each rCell In Range("a4:a23")
cCom.Text Text:=rCell.Text & " " & cCom.Text
Next rCell
End Sub
I only have 1 line of test in the a4:a23 range - so I'm getting 19 spaces before the text in the comment. If the cells within a4:a23 are blank, how do I ignore them? I'm not sure how to interpret this code, so I'm sure it's probably easy:
cCom.Text Text:=rCell.Text & " " & cCom.Text

I am trying to change values of some sheets in a worksheet, but the worksheet has spaces in the name. Is it possible to use that with spaces? I am also having the same problem where I am trying to copy some data between 2 different windows, and 1 of the file name has spaces in it, so I cannot use that either.

I have some data that has names but is not consistant i.e
Smith, John
Smith,John
I want a formula that says, if there is a space after the comma do nothing, otherwise insert a space between.
I have figured out the second part so my formula will look like
=if(some logic to identify a space after the comma ,"",already figured out this bit)
