I downloaded from the web at the following site

http://www.xl.barasch.com/ACl12117.htm

code (except for a change I made in the dim statement becasue Mr.
Barasch made an honest mistake by confusing RowCount and CountRow and
some comments I added) by Alan Barash for cleaning up data in Excel
that was imported from a text file.  The code is below.  I cannot get
it to work.  I suspect that something comes after

Sheet.Cells(CountRow, CountCol).Value =

but I do not know what to enter.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
