Final answer:
To remove space at the beginning of a cell in Excel, use the TRIM function in a new cell with the formula =TRIM(A1) if the text is in cell A1, then drag the fill handle to apply it to other cells.
Step-by-step explanation:
To remove space at the beginning of a cell in Excel, you can use the TRIM function, which is designed to remove all extra spaces from text except for single spaces between words. Suppose you have a cell with text that has unwanted spaces at the beginning, you can enter the TRIM function in a new cell to clean up the text.
For instance, if cell A1 contains the text with leading spaces, you would enter the following formula in another cell:
=TRIM(A1)
After pressing Enter, the cell with this formula will display the text without the leading space. If you have multiple cells, you can copy this formula down or across by dragging the fill handle to apply it to other cells.
