FAQ

Does it remove spaces inside text too?

By default it trims leading and trailing spaces. You can optionally collapse repeated internal spaces.

Can I clean only specific columns?

Yes. You can select specific columns to clean or leave it on all columns.

Will it affect numbers or dates?

No. Only text cells are trimmed. Numbers and dates remain unchanged.
