You can get rid of leading/trailing/duplicate internal spaces by using a helper
column with a formula like: =trim(a1) copy down the column. Then you can copy|paste special|values right over the original list and delete the helper column. (Do this on the lookup table, too.) If you copied from a web page, maybe you're seeing the non-breaking HTML spaces. David McRitchie has a routine that will clean up this kind of stuff at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/join.htm#trimall (look for "Sub Trimall()") George A.

George,
you might have some odd characters in there, that look like spaces. Try this - select a cell with the multiple gaps - hit F2 then in the formula bar select 2 of those characters and copy (to the clipboard) then exit - Find and Replace (Ctrl H) - paste the clipboard value into the Find What box - put a single space in the Replace with - OK repeat this until none found, then try replacing two spaces with one until no more. -- HTH Bob Phillips "George A.

You're still trying to solve this "old" problem?
To start from scratch: Case 1: For "regular" spaces, follow Myrna's suggestion: Select the column of names, then, Edit Replace, In the "Find What" box, hit the Space bar 2 times, In the "Replace With" box, hit the Space bar 1 time. Then, "Replace All". *Repeat* this a couple of times, where you enter 3 and then 4 spaces in the "Find What" box, always replacing with a single space. See if this helps the situation to *any* extant. If some do match, but not all, you might have to repeat, using more and more spaces in the "Find What" box. Case 2: If there's no improvement replacing "regular" spaces (Char(32)), try replacing "non-breaking" (Char(160)) spaces. Naturally, you *can't* use the Space bar for these. Make sure the "Find What" box is empty. It tends to "remember" the criteria from your last search, and of course, you can't see those spaces you entered. Now, enter the "non-breaking" space in the "Find What" box by: Hold Alt, And type the number, 0160 Using the Num keypad, *not* the numbers under the function keys. And of course, you will not see anything in the "Find What" box, since those keystrokes DO produce a space. Again, enter your single "regular" space in the "Replace" box. If this doesn't help, and you're still having a problem after all this, you could try to identify what character is exactly between the names. Try this formula: =CODE(MID(A1,5,1)) Where A1 is the cell containing one of the "problem" names, and the "5" is the character count of the first space in the name, counting from the left. If you had a problem name of George Washington in cell G5, you would revise the formula to: =CODE(MID(G5,7,1)) This should return a "32" for a normal space, Or a "160" for a non-breaking space. If it looks like there is more then a single space, just increment the number in the formula to test those "other" spaces. AND, if you do get another number returned, just use that number in the "Edit & Replace" procedure, making sure that you do use *4* digits, with leading zeroes where necessary. -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "George A.

I have tried to use the suggested formula (=code(mid(a1,5,1,)) and in case
one received 32 as result. when I then go to search replace I have entered spaces to search and spaces to replace( four blank spaces to search and two blank spaces to replace.)This does not work and can't figure how else to use the search replace.

Cut out cutout from my address. -- Regards, RD -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - "George A. Yorks" .(donotspam) wrote in message ... I have tried to use the suggested formula (=code(mid(a1,5,1,)) and in case one received 32 as result. when I then go to search replace I have entered spaces to search and spaces to replace( four blank spaces to search and two blank spaces to replace.)This does not work and can't figure how else to use the search replace. Any further help appreciated -- George "RagDyer" wrote: I would guess that perhaps the data that's in AX3 doesn't *exactly* match what's in Column B. Do you import any of your data? Are the names "full" names, first, and/or middle and last names, where there might be a possibilty that the spaces between them might not be a normal Char(32) space? Could there be a possibility of leading and/or trailing spaces? For a test, key a name into Column B. Enter that same name in *exactly* the same way into AX3, and see if you get a correct return from your formula. -- Regards, RD -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ------------------------------------------------------------------- "George A.

It was entered as below. =IF(ISNA(MATCH(AX3,[GEO.xls]Sheet2!$B$4:$B$18,0)),"not found",INDEX([GEO.xls]Sheet2!$Q$4:$Q$18,MATCH(AX3,[GEO.xls]Sheet2!$B$4:$B$18 ,0))) "RagDyeR" wrote: Try this in Ay3 of "Miriam": =IF(ISNA(MATCH(AX3,Geo!$B$4:$B$18,0)),"Not Found",INDEX(Geo!$K$4:$K$18,MATCH(AX3,Geo!$B$4:$B$ 18,0))) You can then *double click* on the "fill handle" in the lower right corner of AY3, which will *automatically* copy the formula in AY3 down Column AY, as far as there is data in Column AX. -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "George A. Yorks" .(donotspam) wrote in message ... Thanks for the help. I am confronted with a new scenario which I'll present for help. One worksheet titled geo I have a list of names b4 thru b18 and data in k4thru k18. I want to transfere the data to worksheet titled miriam after searching for the exact names. The names of the second worksheet are column ax3 thru ax89. Hope this makes sense to you.

Yorks" .(donotspam) wrote in message news I keep saying thanks, your help is outstanding. I would like to ask two additional questions. ie: When I enter my formula into the cells of column A in a number of cells it returns a value in a few it returns#N/A. There is no data in those cases but with the #n?A when I try to add the columns will not do so as it cant enter a non digit. I'm using 0 for the last number in my formula. How best to get around this. Also I've copied a table from USA internet. In pasting to worksheet all the cells are obliterated and nothing is recognized by excel. The data is however recognized in (pardon me) lotus. Is there anyway of having my vlookup formula search 123 in place of a sheet in excel. =vlookup(a1, sheet2!$A$1:$j$31, 10,0). Hope these questions make sense to someone "Earl Kiosterud" wrote: George, The 4 is the third parameter of the VLOOKUP function, and tells it to retrieve the cell in the 4th column of the range being looked up in.

Thanks for the help. I know I'll fully understand the formula structure soon. One question, at end of formula ,4,0 what in fact does the 4 make reference to?

If there is a column between so there is data in a and c and none in b the result return err,the formula in this cell referes to cells that are currently emply. How to get around this. ie" if sheet |
