You are already about 90 % there.

When you click on a cell, instead of deleting the un-wanted material in the
formula bar, copy it (CNTRL-C). Then select all the cells in the worksheet
(or the cells you want cleaned) and pull-down:
Edit Find... and in the find what field do a paste. This puts the
un-wanted stuff in that field, then replace with nothing.

Have a "nice" day

I have moved some data from a table on the web to a spreadsheet and I
would like to change the numbers in a column in to currency. It is not
allowing me to do that as there are blank spaces and I assume tabs
after the number in the cell. I have tried using trim and clean and get
nothing at the moment the only way I have found to do it is to select an
individual cell go to the end of the number and select everything behind
it and deleting it then becomes a number and I can change it to
currency. I would do this but unfortunatley I have around 6k cells to
do


Any clues boys!!
