Tried formatting the column to Text, Numbers, General, Currency but cannot seem to remove the spaces
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]https://ibb.co/kQXF4GV[/FONT]
Both columns are aligned to the left and have spaces in front of them.

J4=SUBSTITUTE(I4," ","")

<thead>

Any idea how to do it?

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).

=SUBSTITUTE(I4,char(160),"")

Thank you Fluff, it worked :)
When I used the formula, it created one space on either side of the number.
I then did a search and replaced the spaces with nothing.

FWIW FYI the spreadsheet in question

You're welcome & thanks for the feedback.
However that formula does not add any spaces.
