Default Remove space in front of number in a cell?

I have a column of values I wish to sum. However, the data was imported from
a database and is entered as text - e.g $,100,000

I have removed the $ (=RIGHT) sign and the , (=SUBSTITUTE) but have now
found that there is a space in front of the number.

Is there a simple way to remove the space? I have used REPLACE but this does
not work. I have used =RIGHT but this removes the next number not the space.

Any suggestions?
