Using TRIM in Google Sheet Query
I have this QUERY
QUERY(Z:AA,"Select AA where UPPER(Z) matches '"&trim($U3)&"'",0)
but its not working for some reason which I can't understand. If the match I'm looking for is redapple and the contents of U3 is red apple the match fails. Setting U3 to redapple matches so it appears TRIM is not working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

My Bad. TRIM only removes trailing and leading spaces. Used SUBSTITUTE instead
