Hello!
I have a column with many names, the problem is that there is an empty space before and after the name. It will take me a while to delete it manually. Is there a way to get rid of those spaces?

" Lavinia Drtcxc "
" Mara Fort Dguyutf "
.
.
So one space before and one after. Any ideas?


And I have a column like this:

1595412593080.png


It somehow has 2 empty rows after the words in the same cell. It is like

"Apple with tomatoes

"

Is there a way to clear all that empty space at once?


Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
For the first part (assuming your data begins in A1):
In B1: =TRIM(A1) and copy down column B1

For the second part (assuming your data begins in C1):
In D1: =SUBSTITUTE(C1,CHAR(10),"") and copy down column D1
