Deleting blanks after characters in google sheet cells

Time:07-16

let's say I have a google sheet columns that holds the following

  • Phrase 1
  • Phrase 2
  • Phrase Word blabla 3

Now after the "2" of the second point there is a blank space. How would I delete the blank space in every cell if it's the last character in the cell?

Best, Florian

Use the TRIM function - this removes trailing, leading and repeating space characters in cells.

CodePudding user response:

To remove ONLY a single tailing space, last character in the cell use this formula.

=ArrayFormula(IF(RIGHT(A2:A)=" ",LEFT( A2:A,LEN(A2:A)-LEN(RIGHT(A2:A)) ),A2:A))

To remove all additional spaces dynamicaly in column A:A past this formula in cell A2.

=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,TRIM(A2:A)))
