    I need to work further with thous numbers
    I need to do so, that excel recognize those numbers as numbers, otherwise my new input formulas do not work.

    I do not undertand you. Where are the "spaces between the numbers"? You need to explain with some well-explained examples EXACTLY what you want.

    If you open file, you will see formulas who doesn't work
    I need to make them work

    They doesn't work because spaces between numbers, for example "1 234 543", "2 066 909"

    Re: How to remove spaces between characters and numbers within cells in Excel?

    I think, he meant simply transforming this 36 000.00(not a proper number) into this 36000.00(a proper number), because the 1st one cannot be used in further calculations, because of the space in the middle.

    I cleared up the spaces, and re-formatted all the cells to proper numbers, ready for further calculation.

    If this is what you need, then you're welcome

    Select any of the spaces between the numbers. Copy. Select all cells. CTRL-H
    Paste the spaces into FIND and leave REPLACE blank.
    Replace all.

    there is also a mix of . and , as decimal separators. You will probably need to replace the . with , assuming that you use , as a decimal separator.

    You're welcome. I'd guess that the figures came from the www. they contained a non-breaking space (Char 160) that often causes problems!!
