Format all cells in excel as text.
Right click on column then -> insert, new column will be added. In the first row type =trim( and lick on first cell of column you would like to reformat (ex: G1), and close parentheses ), then copy data in entire column, highlight column you would like to reformat, choose "Paste Special", click potion "Values" and OK.
All data in column will be formatted as text.
Hope it will help
