1
Click on an empty "Cell" where you want the cleaned data to appear (e.g A4).
This cell will display the result of the TRIM function.
2

3
Type "Enter"
Hit Enter to execute the formula.
4
If you have more rows to clean, click and drag the fill handle (the small square at the bottom right corner of the cell) downwards.
