Macro to remove blanks in text

Hi all,
I have text in cell C11 to C5000.
Do anyone know a macro that will remove the blank in the text?

herve,

it would be helpful if you could be more specific - trailing or leading
blanks, blanks in the middle of text, shall the blanks be completely removed
or shall mutiple blanks be replaced by one ....

Hi Herve,
How about
Sub Del_spaces()
Range("C11:C5000").Select
Selection.Replace What:=" ", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
End Sub
I think that should do what you are looking for.

I use two - one to remove blank spaces - and another to completely remove any
hanging spaces at the end of cells (useful after a SQL data pull)
================
Sub Trim_all_blanks_in_cells()
'Trims all blank spaces appended to the end of text in cell values
'Useful when importing text which leaves blank characters in the
'cells. For eliminating *any* spaces on the cells, use a find/replace
'as detailed below in 'eliminate_spaces_in_cell_text'

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim Cell As Range
'Also Treat CHR 0160, as a space (CHR 032)
Selection.Replace What:=Chr(160), Replacement:=Chr(32), _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
'Trim in Excel removes extra internal spaces, VBA does not
On Error Resume Next 'in case no text cells in selection
For Each Cell In Intersect(Selection, _
Selection.SpecialCells(xlConstants, xlTextValues))
Cell.Value = Application.Trim(Cell.Value)
Next Cell
On Error GoTo 0
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub




Sub eliminate_spaces_in_cell_text()

'**** Add a selection statement here <Columns("E:E").Select>,
'**** <Range("A1).Select>, etc

Selection.Replace What:=" ", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False

End Sub
================

here's another way

Sub RemoveSpaces()

Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("c11:c500").Replace _
What:=" ", Replacement:="", _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=True

End Sub
