You are totally right. I copied it to Word where I could see that it was
"hard spacing" (don't know the correct word for it in English). A bit ashamed
that I didnt try to copy the character to the replace-box. Maybe a too easy
solution :)

Might be some other character.
Place your cursor between 1 and 2 and copy
Select the columns with numbers
Press Ctrl+H
In the Find box press Ctrl+V for the space like character
Leave the Replace With box blank
and press Replace All

Best of luck.

I want to be able to use the replace command, but it wont find the spaces
for me.

When I copy tables with numbers from various sources, I get spaces inside
and after the numbers. E.g. €œ1 234 €œ

I know the use of SUBSTITUTE and other functions, but it is not an effective
way of working when there are so many columns. I have tried to change the
cell format to text, but still no luck in finding the spaces with the replace
command.
