I was wondering if there was a way to remove the leading space next to the text. Suddenly, the columns started to add this extra one space to the formatting where previously there was no such space. I believe this was due to adding another column into the spreadsheet.

I had this occur in the past and fixed it without the trim function or macros, I am pretty sure it's an easy fix I just can't remember what I did.

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Answered my own question, I just had to select the entire column and then format everything in general again. I suppose those "rogue" cells didn't get the same formatting.
