I have a dataset with several thousand lines and I need to remove any characters after the last letter in the string. I have tried the "Trim" function and by using "-left(a2,find(" ",a2)-1)".
Neither of the formulas work which lead me to believe that there are no "spaces".
Please see the attached worksheet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Correct.. Space is only on last position...
Therefore use:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2, CHAR(160), ""), " ", "")
Try formula:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2,CHAR(32),""),CHAR(160),"")
copied down.
Where there is a will there are many ways.
