[mso] Re: TRIM Excel function


Hi Graham,

Try =substitute(textcell, " ", "")
Where the text cell is the cell address that holds your data, assuming that
is all in a single cell.
The second argument has a space between the quotes.
The third has nothing between the quotes.

Subject: [mso] TRIM Excel function

I am trying to generate fairly friendly usernames from surnames and need to
eliminate spaces from between double/triple names, e.g. Mohammed Yusuf
Mohammed.
TRIM will only tidy any superfluous spaces, does anyone have an easy way for
me to get MohammedYusufMohammed?
