You should not need VBA, you should be able to use trim() or left() or Right() or mid() functions to remove space. I had a different problem, none of these methods worked for me but on the Home toolbar on the RHS is a Clear Formatting (eraser icon) function. When I did that, and combined it with the =value() function as well as copy and paste values only back into the same column, i was able to fix. Unbeliveable that this is necessary and that Format > Number just does not work sometimes.
