Copy the code below and paste it into your script. You will see my comments in green if exist so follow the help to adapt to your need.
For 1 cell:
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) { // change sheet1 by yours let sheet = workbook.getWorksheet("Sheet1"); // change A2 by yours let rngval = sheet.getRange("A2").getValue() as string; const trimcell = rngval.trim(); sheet.getRange("A2").setValue(trimcell); }
For multiple cells:
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) { // change sheet1 by yours let sheet = workbook.getWorksheet("Sheet1"); // change A2:A4 by yours let rng = sheet.getRange("A2:A4"); let rngval = rng.getValues(); for (let i = 0; i < rngval.length; i++) { rngval[i][0] = rngval[i][0].toString().trim(); } rng.setValues(rngval); }
