I believe you are saying that you have an entry in a cell that might read
something like "1testing" and you want to get rid of the "1" so it just
reads "testing". You can use the MID funtion to do it.
For example:
If cell A1 contained "1testing", the formula you would enter into another
cell would be =MID(a1,2,100). The result would be "testing".
The formula states: go to cell A1, start retrieving the info starting with
the second character, and keep retrieiving until you get to the 100th
character in the cell. (I chose the number 100 to make sure I would get all
other characters in the cell. You will probably not have 100 characters in
the cell and can reduce the number 100 to a more reasonable number.)
You can find additional info about the MID funtion in The Excel Help Files.
Hope this helps!
