    Deleting spaces

    Hi,

    I have a few hundred telephone numbers all like this

    07730 967 876

    I need to clean that up so it doesn't have the two spaces in it.

    Is there anyway to do this please?

    I.E need it to look like

    07730967876

    Thanks

    Hello,

    in another column

    =SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")

    copy down. Copy results, use Paste Special > Values to paste over original column. Delete helper column.

    cheers,

    Thanks mate.

    However, after pasting values, some of them are numbers stored as text. Is there anyway to convert them but while keeping the 0's at the beginning?

    Select the column, press Cntrl+f. Click on Replace, type single space in Find what field, leave Replace with field blank. Click Replace All.
