    Dear Sir,

I have attached the few name as sample. can you help me with the formula to remove these Unknown character / extra space, double space, special character from selected cell?

    Note : I am using ms office 2013

    That character has an ASCII code of 160

    Use

    =SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(160),"")

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Try:

    =PROPER(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(CLEAN(A3),CHAR(160),"")))
