I have thousands of rows of data that I have used the "Text to Columns"
function on so that they are now two columns instead of one (text in A,
numbers in B).

However, there are leading and trailing spaces in both columns, and when I
used the =TRIM function to remove them, it doesn't work. Even when I use
TRIM
in column D, then copy that value into Notepad, I can still see the
spaces.

What's wrong?
