Hi guis,
Can someone help me with some code where I can v hroughout the Sheet in the table to check the data and change the data directly in the cell where the error is?

If there is a letter in the cell at the beginning, add a space before.
If the gap is already there then continue
ABCDEFG

<ODK243323RLO*56412898874B*>

What the table should look like after verification (The space is marked in bold)

Hi Slavio - The code below may help you get started. Hope this helps.

VBA Code:
Sub FirstChar()
'This First Character test is set to look at only Cell A1 or Cells(1,1).Value
    Dim xlString As String
    Dim xlFirstChar As String

    xlString = Cells(1, 1).Value

    xlFirstChar = Left$(xlString, 1)
    
'Test if first character is NOT numeric and if so - add a space before.
    If Not IsNumeric(xlFirstChar) Then
    MsgBox "Yes"
    xlString = " " & xlString
    
    Cells(1, 1).Value = xlString
    End If
    
End Sub
