Masking numbers

[RNeducator]

I need to remove or hide the first 5 digits in a string of 9 numbers for a
column. Any easy way to do this?

If you need it to be a number try
=value(right(A1,4))
if it can be text don't use the value()

Hello,

=--MID(A1,6,LEN(A1)-5)
to get result as a number

=MID(A1,6,LEN(A1)-5)
to get it as a string

If you are sure that it's a number and 9 digits you can take
=MOD(A1,10000)
or
=--RIGHT(A1,4)

HTH,
