Frequently Asked Questions
Why are trailing spaces in spreadsheets problematic?
Excel and databases treat "Apple" and "Apple " as completely different strings. This causes VLOOKUP and MATCH formulas to fail with #N/A errors.
Does this trim numbers or dates?
No. Numbers and dates remain unaltered. Only string and text fields have extra whitespace normalized.
