TRIM Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Removing excess spaces from text for clean data
Understanding the TRIM Formula
The TRIM function in Excel removes extra spaces from text, leaving just one space between words and none at the start or end. It's a cleanup tool for standardizing data—like fixing imported text or user entries.
TRIM(" Hello World ") returns 'Hello World', stripping excess spaces. It takes a single text argument, tidying it up—perfect for ensuring consistency in text data.
Why Use TRIM?
TRIM tidies text—think data import cleanup or form validations. Its space normalization ensures clean comparisons and joins, solving a common data quality issue in one step.
Example with Sample Data
| Text | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| ' Hello World ' | =TRIM(" Hello World ") | Hello World |
| 'John Smith' | =TRIM("John Smith") | John Smith |
| ' Data ' | =TRIM(" Data ") | Data |
TRIM cleans spaces: ' Hello World ' to 'Hello World'. It's a space sanitizer.
