Apparently empty (blank) cells aren't empty

[daymaker]

I exported an access database to an excel spreadsheet. In one of my columns, I need to select or 'go to' all blank fields so that I can then copy data from above field into them. Problem is, the fields (shown below; actual file attached as well) appear blank, but they aren't. So when I select the column and choose 'Edit | Go To | Special | Blanks | Ok', no blank fields are recognized.



I read on another site's thread that possibly when exporting empty fields in access file to excel, there is in fact a null string there rather than it actually being empty and this may be spaces.

I am hoping there's a way to possibly identify the true contents of these supposedly blank cells and then to truly empty/clear the contents. Or, I could find all cells that have these invisible characters and 'go to' them & then do my copy step. Any ideas?
