If trim isn’t working for you, why not do a simple find and replace of the “space” character. That may well work for you.
I know this is a very basic function but even after searches and a YouTube video, I can’t seem to find how to do this and funny, I’ve done it before…
I need to remove the spaces in a row…I’ve tried following examples of the TRIM function but it just doesn’t seem to be working correctly…
Here’s what the numbers look like:

I have about 280 of these and only need the spaces removed from those numbers all in the same column.

Ah, that does definitely clear it up. Go to the Layout tab of Page Setup and set the vertical alignment to Top instead of Justified.
The easiest way to get to the Page Setup dialog is to double-click on the horizontal ruler (if you have it displayed), but you can also use the dialog launcher (the tiny arrow) in the bottom right corner of the Page Setup group on the Page Layout tab.
Right-click in one of the problem paragraphs and choose Paragraph... If there is Spacing Before/After, delete it. You probably need to modify the style in question, since it seems to be affecting all text, including text pasted in.
