FAQ
Why should I trim spaces?
Extra spaces can cause VLOOKUP errors, duplicate entries that look unique, and formatting issues. Cleaning them ensures data integrity.
Does it affect non-text cells?
No, the tool only processes cells containing text strings. Numbers and dates are left untouched.
Can I apply this to the whole workbook?
Currently, you process one sheet at a time. This gives you more control over which data is modified.
