Remove white spaces in Back

[dziw]

Hi
I used =trim(A1) to remove for the front space and it works. Is there a way to remove the back space after the characters in column.

The TRIM function removes leading and trailing spaces but not spaces between
words or separate strings in a cell.

Why do you think you still have trailing spaces after using TRIM?

Try this in A1......enter 3 spaces then qwerty then 3 more spaces.

In B1 enter =LEN(A1) should return 10

In A2 enter =TRIM(A1)

In B2 enter =LEN(A2) should return 6

If you are not getting rid of the trailing spaces, perhaps they are HTML
non-breaking spaces....CHAR(160)

You can try edit>replace

what: ALT + 0160(from the numpad)

with: nothing

Replace all.
