Default Missing Reference?

I'm looking for a better way to get rid of the spaces directly before and
after the values in my cells. When I double click the values, I see the
cursor blinking one space to the right of the data, like this: 'Sales . The
period is where the cursor sits blinking. Without double clicking the cell,
it says: Sales No cursor appears on the unactivated cell (obviously). I
know about the "TRIM" function in order to get rid of before and after
spaces, but I don't want to have to move the data around in order to do a
vlookup. I tried using Find & Replace, but that only helps me find values
that are not formula. I believe I might have a missing reference. Does
anyone know which reference would make Find and Replace work for formulas?
Is there a way to replace the spaces on the outside?

Any push in the right direction would be very appreciated
