Yes, this is pretty straight forward. Just place the following code in a tMap (or similar)....

row.columnWithSpaces.replaceAll(" ", "")

row1.S_NO.replaceAll(" ","")

This is not an Integer column if it has a space in it or starts with a 0. A number cannot start with a 0 unless it is 0. What you have is a String column which holds your data as "  0000 ". You need to remove the spaces in the way I demonstrated, and that will leave "0000". If you convert that to an Integer it will leave 0.

Hey @Richard Hall​  can you please guide me to remove whites spaces in float type column?

Is this in a database? Is it a float column? Can you give an example of what you are seeing? This question was a but misleading (the original question) as they were actually talking about a String representation of a number.
