Default Text to Columns or TRIM?

Hi

I have a sheet with 20 columns, some text, some numbers or dates. The
columns with text have lots of empty text after the last character. I can use
the TRIM() function to get rid of it but there are almost a million cells so
it time consuming and excel is prone to crash.

Is there a simpler way to get rid of the data. Note the file is originally a
csv and I am ultimately trying to upload it into an access database so
potentially there are some better ways perhaps just to upload directly to
Access?

thanks
