Hi Guys
Isn't there a way to read "1 000" as "1000" in Google sheets?

I've got hundreds of data entries, and Google sheets gives me the error:
"Function ADD parameter 1 expects number values. But '22 166.19' is a text 
and cannot be coerced to a number."

CERTAINLY it can be coerced to a number if you just ignore the thousand 
separator.
So is there a way I can get sheets to ignore the space for the thousand 
separator?

Also, why is there so little traffic about this problem online?
