I think I'll use TRIM( ) if you have no objection.

Absolutely no difference to the much simpler
=SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")

This is how I would remove trailing spaces.

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(32),REPT("",255))

Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

The formulae discussed in this thread should serve Bob's needs.

Experts, please confirm that the formulae are only good as long as there
are no trailing spaces.

e.g. AA111 and AA111__ ( __ are trailing spaces) will be counted twice.

If we are really picky, we'll do LEN( ), SUBSTITUTE ( ) etc., right?

I have a column with the following dates:

11/23/05
11/23/05
11/23/05
11/25/05
11/25/05
11/28/05
12/1/05
12/1/05
12/1/05

I want a formula that will tell me how many unique dates there are in
the
column. Can anyone help?

thanks,
Bob
