How do you trim data in a query or a table for a whole column?

RE: Access

Hi Paul

Thank you for the question.

Did you mean Trim as remove the spaces from either end of the value? If so you can use a function called Trim() in your query.

If you meant trim as trim to a set length you could use the function Left() in your query.

You can find text functions in the expression builder in FUnctions - Built-In FUnctions then scroll to the bottom of the middle list to select Text.

I hope that helps

Access tip:

Design View in Relationship window

Your in the Relationship window and changes are required to be made to a Table's design.

Rather than exiting the Relationship window, if you perform a right-mouse click on the table, it opens that table up in Design view
