1. TRIM() Function
TRIM() hutumika kuondoa spaces zote zisizohitajika kwenye text isipokuwa space moja kati ya maneno.
Ni muhimu kwa kusafisha data iliyo-importiwa, data entry errors, na text formatting.
Syntax:
TRIM(text)
text = maandishi unayotaka kusafisha (cell au text)
2. Kinachoondolewa na TRIM()
TRIM huondoa:
Leading spaces (kabla ya neno)
Trailing spaces (mwisho wa neno)
Multiple spaces kati ya maneno → inabaki space moja tu
3. Mfano Rahisi
A
John Doe
Formula:
=TRIM(A2)
Result:
John Doe
Extra spaces zote zimeondolewa
Space moja ya kati imesalia kama inavyotakiwa
4. TRIM() Pamoja na CLEAN()
Data iliyo-importiwa kutoka systems zingine mara nyingi huwa na invisible characters.
Mfano:
=TRIM(CLEAN(A2))
CLEAN() → inaondoa characters zisizoonekana
TRIM() → inabaki spaces sahihi pekee
5. TRIM() Pamoja na SUBSTITUTE()
Ikiwa unataka kuondoa spaces zote, hata space za kati:
=SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A2)," ","")
Matokeo → JohnDoe
6. Kutumia TRIM() Kwa Data Ndefu
Wakati wa kusafisha data nyingi kama:
Majina ya wanafunzi
Codes
Imported CSV data
Majina ya bidhaa
Taarifa zilizotoka kwa system zingine
Unaweza kutumia:
=ARRAYFORMULA(TRIM(A2:A1000))
(Excel mpya hutumia formula spilled, Excel ya zamani → drag down manually)
7. TRIM() Pamoja na TEXTJOIN()
Kusafisha na kuunganisha text:
=TEXTJOIN(" ",TRUE,TRIM(A2:C2))
Inaunganisha maneno matatu
TRIM() husafisha kila cell
TRUE → ina-skip empty cells
8. Tips Muhimu
TRIM() haiondoi non-breaking space (CHAR(160)) kutoka web pages.
→ Tumia:
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A2,CHAR(160)," "))
Ni muhimu kwa kusafisha data kabla ya:
VLOOKUP
XLOOKUP
MATCH
UNIQUE
SORT
FILTER
TRIM() inafanya dataset iwe clean, consistent, na tayari kwa analysis.
