So after the advice from simoco I was able to modify my for loop
:
For i = 1 To Len(sSpecialChars)
sInput = Replace$(sInput, Mid$(sSpecialChars, i, 1), "") 'this will remove spaces
Next
Now for every character in a given cell in my spreadsheet, the special characters are removed and replaced with nothing. This is essentially done by the Replace$ and Mid$ functions used together as shown:
sInput = Replace$(sInput, Mid$(sSpecialChars, i, 1), "") 'this will remove spaces
This code is executed for every single character in the cell starting with the character at position 1, via my for loop
.
Hopefully this answer benefits someone in the future if the stumble upon my original question.
