Suppose the data is in the B column, write in the C column the formula: 

=SUBSTITUTE(B1," ","")

Copy&Paste the formula in the whole C column.

edit: using commas or semicolons as parameters separator depends on your regional settings (I have to use the semicolons). This is weird I think. Thanks to @tocallaghan and @pablete for pointing this out.
