    Can't format cells to Currency

    After researching various solutions I can not figure out why one cell will not format to a currency and another will. There are no formulas in the attached example because I only pasted Values in the sheet. What am I doing Wrong? I'm also not sure if i attached the sheet correctly. Thanks

    Because it's text; you can tell because it's left justified.

    It has a trailing space.

    Select the column then find and replace space with nothing.
