creating a formul

I tried this formula and get a "not found" also this is how the formula gets
entered. Don't know why. 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)))

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.

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

If you wish, you can send me your sheet, and I'll see what I can figure out.

The list above shows names with the A A as an extention. This seems to
create my problem. If I try to simply delete these "A A" the names can not
be properly spaced. This probably results in the hidden spaces you speak of.
Is there any method to remove the extension and allow for proper spacing.
After all your help it appears to boil down to this.

I can't tell what your data contains from just looking at it in your post.

If you don't wish to send me a copy, there's really nothing more I can
suggest to you, besides perhaps the outside chance that "Text To Columns"

I thought what I sent would help one last thought. I've tried to use the
trim and/or clean funtion to remove what appears to be a hidden character and
hidden space. The character is removed the spaces of the name is correct but
when I reverse the names (from first and last) to (last and first)using a
workable formula the spacing reverts tothe incorrect multiple spacing. It's
mind boggling

I would like to send the sheet to you however all I have is a list of names
and dollar amounts. This represent earnings that I am tracking. There is
the additional letter as a trailer to some of the names.(this designates
participation in an additional group. The use of clean function does
deletethe letter but the hidden space remains. The use of the trim function
can not correct this situation. I copy the list from the web. If you can
suggest how I might send it to you I will be pleasedto do so. Or any other
suggestions you might have

A new question.
I am able to copy data from column of numbers to a corresponding column
using the following basic formula =b11 to represent column b row 11. In the
corresponding column I can drag the first cell data down the column and all
data is transfered. I there a formula to use to data from rows to columns
using the same concept. I am looking to have the column heading change and
the data row remaing the same.

In using the lookup formula I find that the data in column AX3 is not exactly
like that in sheet 2 B4. ie: the spacing between first and last name is not
the same. Any way to correct this. I only know of the differences when the
dollar amounts are not tranfered. I then have to correct these errors
manually. Hope this makes sense

Thanks for all the help

If you sometimes have double or triple spaces, you can do a search and replace
on column AX: search for two spaces and replace with 1 space. Repeat until
Excel tell you there are no more matches.

My column is comprised of names with varied spaces between first and last
name.As you suggested went to edit find/replace and in the find place the
name with extra spaces. in the replace entered the name with one place and
clicked on find. Nothing. The help menu is of no help. Has to be
something obvious that I am not doing

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()")

I am still not able to adjust space between two words. I have a column of
names with two or three spaces between first and last name. I want to adjust
so there is only one space between the two names. How to do this. Was
suggested I do a search and replace but have not found how to do this. Any
help appreciated

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.

In using find and replace, I select the full column do ctrl. h to get find
and replace but still trying to figure how to look for three spaces in find

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.
