Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Assuming there's always exactly 1 comma and that the "stuff" in front of the comma is numerical, this formula should do the trick

Code:
=REPT(" ",LEN(A2) - LEN(1*LEFT(A2,FIND(",",A2)-1) & RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND(",",A2)+1)))  & 1*LEFT(A2,FIND(",",A2)-1) & RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND(",",A2)+1)

If the comma is your decimal is your decimal separator, then

=RIGHT(REPT(" ", LEN(A9)) & TEXT(A9, "General"), LEN(A9))

Assuming the comma is your decimal separator rather than a period, this formula should work for either separator: =REPT(" ",LEN(A1)-LEN(--A1))&--A1
