How to remove spaces in Excel - leading, trailing, non-breaking

The tutorial explains how to remove blank spaces in Excel using formulas and the Text Toolkit tool. You will learn how to delete leading and trailing spaces in a cell, eliminate extra spaces between words, get rid of non-breaking white space and non-printing characters. What's the biggest problem with spaces? They are often invisible to the human eye. An attentive user can occasionally catch a leading space hiding before the text or a few extra spaces between words. But there is no way to spot trailing spaces, those that keep out of sight at the end of cells. It wouldn't be much of a problem if extra spaces were just lying around, but they mess up your formulas. The point is that two cells containing the same text with and without spaces, even if it's as little as a single space character, are deemed different values. So, you may be racking your brain trying to figure out why an obviously correct formula cannot match two seemingly identical entries. Now that you are fully aware of the problem, it's time to work out a solution.
