Hello,
I'm using Excel 2013. I was running the macro below to trim all excess spaces out of cells. The macro was running fine until today. Now, I get the Runtime Error 13 Type Mismatch. I'm not sure why. Is there a more reliable code you could recommend? Thanks.
Code:
Sub TrimXcessSpaces()
 'On Error Resume Next
'I could un-comment the line above to "solve" the problem but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea.
 
    Dim cl As Variant
    
    With ActiveSheet.UsedRange

    For Each cl In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
        If Len(cl) > Len(WorksheetFunction.Trim(cl)) Then 'this part is yellow
            cl.Value = WorksheetFunction.Trim(cl)
        End If
    Next cl
End With
End Sub

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Perhaps

Code:
Sub TrimXcessSpaces()
 'On Error Resume Next
'I could un-comment the line above to "solve" the problem but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea.
 
Dim cl As Range


For Each cl In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
    If Not IsError(cl) Then
        If Len(cl) > Len(WorksheetFunction.Trim(cl)) Then 'this part is yellow
            cl.Value = WorksheetFunction.Trim(cl)
        End If
    End If
Next cl
End Sub
