1. Trim VBA Function – Description
The Trim VBA function removes spaces from both sides of the text. We use it when we want to remove unnecessary spaces from both the left and right side of a text string. It is worth noting that the function does not remove spaces from the middle of the text, only from the left and right sides. If we want to remove spaces from the middle of the text, we should use the VBA Replace function . If, on the other hand, we would like to remove spaces only from the left or only from the right side of the text, we should use the LTrim function to remove spaces from the left side or RTrim to remove unnecessary spaces from the right side of the text.
