how can I eliminate the last character of a cell?
 

I have a database that was imported. Each cell in column A has the data and
a space added at the end. I need a formula to create a new column with the
data from Column A without the additional space.

EX. Presently I have [AAA12345 ]
I would like to show [AAA122345]

If it's exactly one character to remove:
=left(a1,len(a1)-1)

If you wanted to get rid of all the leading/trailing/multiple embedded spaces:
=trim(a1)

If you wanted to get rid of all the spaces:
=substitute(a1," ","")
