    The "numbers" you have must have a ' in front of them if the spaces at the end are showing up. To remove them insert a column next to the one containing your numbers and insert the formula =TRIM(B1) into it and copy it down for as many rows as you have. This will remove all the spaces.

    ONLY APPLIES TO VBA RESPONSES WHERE APPROPRIATE
    To insert code into the VBE (Visual Basic Editor)
    1. Copy the code.
    2. Open workbook to paste code into.
    3. Right click any worksheet tab, select View Code
    4. VBE (Visual Basic Editor) opens to that sheets object
    5. You may change to another sheets object or the This Workbook object by double clicking it in the Project window
    6. In the blank space below the word "General" paste the copied code.

    [Spacebar], leave the replace with blank and replace all

    Hope this helps,
