Hello all.
I have a table of data. But after the data, there are 2 spaces (or some kind of special characters) in the cell.
I tried use TRIM function but it didn't work. I just want the whole table to be numbers so I can work with them.
Please see the attachment.
Thank you so much in advance for the help/solutions!
Try selecting all then find/replace
find
hold down the alt key and type 0160 on the NUMERIC KEYPAD
replace with nothing
replace all
or(revised)
=IF(LEFT(B2)=CHAR(160),"",SUBSTITUTE(B2,CHAR(160),"")+0)

Try the attached, hope it helps.
where did you get char 202 from?
Looked for CHAR() before and after the string.
code(right(c2)) returns 160
char(202)is Ê
Does the formula work on your version of excel? I'm using the Mac version.
=so code(right(c2) returns 202 for you i wonder why
i'm not denying it works,just i couldn't see why, it just seems a tad over kill tho'
mind you revised formula is
=IF(LEFT(B2)=CHAR(160),"",SUBSTITUTE(B2,CHAR(160),"")+0)

Glad it does. Will inform in the future on the mac version.
Did try the one suggested by you, did'nt have a numeric pad and suppose the same reason Char 160 did'nt work. Gave it a go
