Remove trailing whitespace

mb1824

Hi,

 

I have a trial balance exported from source system in .csv

 

I have tried the Data Cleansing tool with Remove "Leading & Trailing Whitespace" checked, however it doesn't work. 

 

So I suspect while it appears to be a trailing whitespace to me, Alteryx is reading it as something else. I am having a similar issue with this data source in Tableau.

 

If I also check "All Whitespace" within the Data Cleansing Tool, the apparent 'trailing whitespace' is removed but so are all the spaces in my account names

 

Any ideas?
