Here is some data downloaded from the web. At the front is the Char(0160). I would like to remove the Char(0160) and replace with nothing, but then indent the cell based on the level. As you can see with the data below, I was messing around with the cleaning dirty data formula, but wasn't sure how to get the indent level desired without some overcomplicated way. Can this be done directly in column A without the use of a formula? Also, it turns out some of these rows have extra spaces at the end of the string.

level 1 -- indent 0
level 2 -- indent 1
level 3 -- indent 2
and so on

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
How about
VBA Code:
Sub FryGirl()
   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim x As Variant
   
   For Each Cl In Range("A1", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      x = Evaluate("LEN(" & Cl.Address & ")-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(" & Cl.Address & ",CHAR(160),""""))")
      If Not IsError(x) Then
         Cl.Value = Trim(Replace(Cl.Value, Chr(160), ""))
         Cl.IndentLevel = x / 6
      End If
   Next Cl
End Sub
