Can I find a string with or without a space after the last charact

[emil]

I have a word in a Cell. I copy it in " Find". I Search in another Sheet that
word. If I have extra spaces before or after it I can not find it often it
exists. The word changed. I tried to write a macro but it doesn’t work. Can

Try setting the Lookin value to xlPart in the Find statement.

not a very high tech way but ......

the find command so long as the 'match entire contents' box is not ticked would not worry about the spaces.

eg if your cell you are copying is 'test ' on the other sheet if you search for 'test' it should find all instances regardless of spaces.

also you have the chance to use the TRIM command, as it will strip the spaces off the end of cells.

one thing to watch out for is if the second sheet you are looking on has the word as the result of a formula as sometimes it searches the formula code and not the results
