Default Trim function doesn't clean out ASCII Code 160 (Space)

I have imported some data from the web site. It's using the character code
of 160 for the space rather than the character code of 32. I attempted to
use the TRIM function to clean this space, but it's not cleaning it out as
the LEN function returns the same number of characters with the TRIM
function as without the TRIM function. The data has this character code of
160 at the end of the numeric value that is techincally formatted as text
from when imported by the website, which I tried using the VALUE function,
but cause of this space, it returns the value error due to unrecognized
format.

Is there any other way to address this issue via formula writing without
necessarly having to take extra steps such as the Text to Column wizard or
creating a custom function within VBA? I can create the function, but I
rather not have to.
