Hello,
I used the data cleansing tool on the input:

But the headers keep getting leading and trailing whitespace:

Hey @BautistaC888,

 

You can use the Dynamic Rename Tool set to formula and use formula,

trim([_CurrentField_])

Hi @BautistaC888 the data cleanse tool will work on the data and not on the headers. You would need to use a Dynamic Rename tool or pivot your data and then fix the headers. I've mocked up both approaches in the attached workflow.
