I am having trouble with spaces in cell values, due to which I can't perform calculations with the values. The trim function is not working either. I'm attaching a sample file. Any Guidance will be appreciated.

Amount cell (column E). Thanks for the response.
B4 contains ASCII code 160 (which appears as a blank space). If you have a regular keypad keyboard, You can Find/Replace (CNTRL H) Find what: ALT + 160 (on keypad), Replace with: leave blank
See post 4, Replace All
If you do not have a keypad, you can copy it (a blank space) from the spreadsheet and paste it into the FIND/Replace Window
Wow!!! Thanks! Works like a magic. You saved me from hours of manual calculations, thanks again!

The macro at this website will remove all leading/trailing
and multiple interspersed char 32 space characters.
It will also remove and/or convert char 160 non breaking
spaces into standard char 32 space characters. It will
work on text or numbers and the numbers will be
converted to true numeric numbers.
I use this macro dozens of times every single day!
It's a real time saver.
