How can I remove the spaces in the data in row 4 to look like the data in row 6?

As long as they are blank (in your sample they are not)
select range
edit goto special blanks/ right click/ delete/ shift cells left

I have tried this. The cells in my range will not be blank..

why are they not blank?

**rhudgins** · 07-30-2010, 04:10 PM

because they are copied as values from a formula. Is there a way to make them blank after they have been copied from the formula?
