Hi everyone,

 

I don't know if is possible, but I have a workflow where I don't want to use the Data Cleansing tool, because is taking too much time.

 

Is it possible to clean Leading and Tariling Whitesapce's with the RegEx tool, I have already tryied but I can't get there.

 

The main objective is to clean the spaces between the "|", before the text to columns tool.

 

Thank you all

@beacc ,

How about using Multi-Field Formula with Trim functions?

This is the approach that I'd have suggested too. Looks good!
