TRIM will remove leading and trailing spaces, but also multiple spaces within a text string.
CLEAN will remove all non-printable characters from a text string.
You could use them both in one go if you want. Something like:
=CLEAN(TRIM(A1))

Is it possible to solve this error
- Riny_van_EekelenNov 12, 2022Platinum Contributor
ajmal_pottekattil_yoousuf OK, I'll give it one more try. VLOOKUP (any lookup function in fact) isn't very good at guessing. This time you are trying to match:
GEO-CHEM MIDDLE EAST with
Geo Chem Middle East LLC
The case of the letters doesn't matter for VLOOKUP but the hyphen triggers the error. For Excel Geo-Chem and Geo Chem are different. It doesn't guess that they are perhaps the same.

Is any other method to lookup these values.??
Can i Change the "-" From the Name.??
