Remove leading or trailing spaces in an entire column of data

How do I remove leading or trailing spaces of all cells in an entire column?

The worksheet’s conventional Find and Replace (aka Ctrl+H) dialog is not solving the problem.

Solution

If you would like to use a formula, the TRIM function will do exactly what you’re looking for:

+----+------------+---------------------+
|    |     A      |           B         |
+----+------------+---------------------+
| 1  | =TRIM(B1)  |  value to trim here |
+----+------------+---------------------+

So to do the whole column…
1) Insert a column
2) Insert TRIM function pointed at cell you are trying to correct.
3) Copy formula down the page
4) Copy inserted column
5) Paste as “Values”

Should be good to go from there…
