Text functions are the answer. I am not clear if you mean that you wish to trim some trailing spaces [See =TRIM()], or if you know how many 'last characters' you need to 'cut', in which case you would need to discover the length [See =LEN()] and then obtain the left most characters [=LEFT()] using the length - the number of characters you are looking to cut. If this is a one off, you could use Data / Text to columns. Regards, Stuart Tayler

What is a receiver cell in Microsoft Excel?

There is no specific term "receiver cell" associated with Excel. Within an individual spreadsheet a user may have cells which hold information about receivers of one kind or another, like a telephone receiver or audio receiver or data receiver, and they may enter something into it. This is like you could have an "Age cell" or a "country cell" or a "gender cell" to hold information about things relating to ages, countries or genders on a particular spreadsheet. What you may be referring to is a cell that receives something that has been copied or cut. The proper term for that is a destination cell.
