How to remove spaces in between text?
The VBA Trim
function is different than Excel's. Use Excel's Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim
function instead.
Excel Trim will remove all spaces except a single space between words. VBA Trim will remove leading and trailing spaces.
Thank MS for using the same keyword for different functions.
Trim removes extra spaces at start and end, not in the middle of a string.
Function CleanSpace(ByVal strIn As String) As String
strIn = Trim(strIn)
' // Replace all double space pairings with single spaces
Do While InStr(strIn, " ")
strIn = Replace(strIn, " ", " ")
Loop
CleanSpace = strIn
End Function
From here.
PS. It's not the most efficient way to remove spaces. I wouldn't use on many, very long strings or in a tight loop. It might be suitable for your situation.
I know this question is old but I just found it and thought I'd add what I use to remove multiple spaces in VBA....
cleanString = Replace(Replace(Replace(Trim(cleanString), _
" ", " |"), "| ", ""), " |", " ") 'reduce multiple spaces chr(32) to one
