I would like to test the length of a string in all cells within a column. If that cell doesn't equal 11 spaces I would like to fill with a special character etc...
thanks for any suggestions

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().

You can use...

=A1&REPT("*",11-LEN(A1))

...to produce the desired results in another cell. To modify cell A1 direcly you'll need someone to assist with VBA.
