    To much spacing in column

    I have three columns:
    Street Name
    Type
    Direction

    The "Type" column has a large amount of spacing in it and Trim does not work. Also =SUBSTITUTE(b2,CHAR(160),"") does not work.

    Need to combine columns into one column. see attachment

    Thanks

    Try this:

    =C3&" "&TRIM(A3)&" "&B3

    Try...

    =TRIM(CLEAN(SUBSTITUTE(B2,CHAR(160)," ")))
