#VALUE error
Hi!
I have a time table with: A B 1 11:55:00 AM 2:20:00 PM If aplied the formulae =(B1-A1) return #VALUE error, because there are one space before first digit. If erased the space, work fine. With Find and Replace don't solve the problem. Is possible to solve this problem automaticly, please? Thanks in advance. an |

From where do you get the data?
If imported. perhaps the space is a non-breaking space. TRIM or CLEAN functions will not remove those. Select and EditReplace What: Alt + 0160(using NumPad) With: leave blank Replace all Does that compute any better?

Thanks for the feedback.
I should have said "if imported or copied from a web-site" because that's the usual place to collect non-breaking HTML character((  Happy to help.
