    Format cells

    Hello All

    Does anyone know if possible and how to do the following:
    I have ean barcodes that have spaces in the number, which then can not be uploaded. Is there a way of removing spaces from a string of cells, without manually deleting each space?
    As I have hundreds to correct, a solution could save me a huge amount of time.

    Thanks in advance
    John

    Perhaps using TRIM function?

    if u only have bar codes on that sheet, the easiest way to do it is:

    Find and Replace....click on replace command and just hit spacebar in find box and leave replace as is - do replace all and the space between bar codes will be removed.

    Thanks

    Press Control+H and in the Find cell put a space and click replace. If you select the entire area which you want to change the click replace all button.
