Worked perfect, thank you!

I tried this formula and the result I got was FALSE. I am not sure what
that
means?

I have a report that I download into excel - it has a currency value and
when
I try to do a calculation on it - it will not work. I noticed that the
values are not formatted as a number so I changed that. I also noticed
there
are some extra spaces in the field I tried the clean function, the trim
function and convert text to columns to attempt to isolate and remove
the
extra spaces - none seemed to work.
Any other suggestions to get these converted to text so calculations
will
work?
