This should be intuitively obvious but I'm not figuring it out.
I want to combine two Excel functions (TRIM and CLEAN) into one formula, if possible:
=TRIM(A2) and =CLEAN(A2) so that both superfluous spaces (ASCII 32) and ASCII characters 0-31 are removed.
=TRIM(A2)&CLEAN(A2) ← This does not work as it only removes the spaces and undesirably duplicates the data.
Please see attached sample data.
