    Remove spaces before and after parenthesis and hash

    Hello to all forum member

    In attached sheet, I want to to remove single or multiple spaces before and after symbol like hash (#) and parenthesis (left, right),
    I used trim function but it is not working.

    Time format are there next to date with one space. I don't want to touch that part one.
