i followed the guide to the letter but when I print transactions clean there is no whitespace. when I seperate it out into the individual variables it adds so much whitespace and wont let me strip it off again. I honestly dont understand what is going on. Other threads here dont seem to quite have the same issue. Please help.

I guess you could change
sales.append(transaction[1])
to
sales.append(transaction[1].strip())
to remove more whitespace there.

Also, please post your code by using the </> button and then pasting the code on lines between the ``` and ```

daily_sales_replaced = daily_sales.replace(";,;", "+")
daily_transactions = daily_sales_replaced.split(",")
daily_transactions_split = [] 

for transaction in daily_transactions:
  daily_transactions_split.append(transaction.split("+"))

transactions_clean = []

for transaction in daily_transactions_split:
  transaction_clean = []
  for data in transaction:
    transaction_clean.append(data.replace("\n", "").strip(" "))
  transactions_clean.append(transaction_clean)

print(transactions_clean)

customers = []
sales = []
thread_sold = []

for transacion in transactions_clean:
  customers.append(transaction[0])
  sales.append(transaction[1])
  thread_sold.append(transaction[2])

#print(transactions_clean)

#print(customers)
#print(thread_sold)
print(sales)

total_sales = 0

for sale in sales:
  total_sales += float(sale.strip("$"))
