Content: So, if your data set contains one or more white spaces that the TRIM function does not remove, use the SUBSTITUTE function to convert non-breaking spaces into regular spaces and then trim them. Assuming the text is in A1, the formula goes as follows: =TRIM (SUBSTITUTE (A1, CHAR (160), " "))
As an extra precaution, you can embed the CLEAN function to clean the cell of any non-printable characters: =TRIM (CLEAN (SUBSTITUTE (A1, CHAR (160), " ")))
The following screenshot shows the difference: If the above formulas do not work for you either, chances are that your data contain some specific nonprinting characters with code values other than 32 and 160. In this case, use one of the following formulas to find out the character code, where A1 is a problematic cell: Leading space: =CODE (LEFT (A1,1))
Trailing space: =CODE (RIGHT (A1,1))
In-between space (where n is the position of the problematic character in the text string): =CODE (MID (A1, n, 1)))
And then, supply the returned character code to the TRIM (SUBSTITUTE ()) f
