Removing excess spaces and nonprinting characters

Removing excess spaces and non printing characters
Often data imported into an Excel worksheet contains excess spaces or strange (often unprintable)
characters. Excel provides you with two functions to help whip your data into shape: TRIM
and
CLEAN:
 TRIM removes all leading and trailing spaces, and it replaces internal strings of multiple
spaces by a single space.
 CLEAN removes all nonprinting characters from a string. These “garbage” characters
often appear when you import certain types of data.
This example uses the TRIM function. The formula returns Fourth Quarter Earnings (with no
excess spaces):



=TRIM(“   Fourth    Quarter     Earnings     “)

pronunciation of words in English If the words illustrating two symbols sound the same to you (say, if you pronounce cot and caught the same, or do and dew , or marry and merry ), you can ignore the difference between those symbols. Footnotes explain some of these mergers. (See also #Dialect variation below.)

GRBL Feed Rate

Introduction – GRBL Feed Rate Congratulations on getting your CNC machine running. By now you should have adjusted a few of the GRBL settings. If not then before setting your GRBL feed rate, I recommend you set the steps per mm at the very least. Click the following link for a guide that will walk you through the process for the x,y and z axis Steps per mm ($100, $101, $102). GRBL settings 101 Now that your machine moves to the location you want, it’s time to see if we can get the machine there faster. The following guide outlines the process of setting your GRBL feed rate. Why Does Feed Rate Matter? Many times, your machine will have to rapid to a location before or between cuts. Depending on what you are cutting and how big that part is, this can add up to a significant amount of time. Especially if your max GRBL feed rate settings are not optimized. In my case, I was able to more than double the safe speed of my machine. This meant that the machine moved to the cutting po
