    Removing numbers from the beginning of alphanumeric cells

    I would like to remove numbers of varying lengths from the beginning of some data.

    Data Example
    123 Alpha Rd
    11223 Alpha Trl
    123 Bravo Rd
    1124 Alpha Rd

    Desired Result:
    Alpha Rd
    Alpha Trl
    Bravo Rd
    Alpha Rd

    I attempted to modify a formula from another thread (http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...ric-cells.html) for removing numbers from the End of data with varied results, I do not believe I am editing the formula correctly.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Based on your example data the data starts after a space. Use a Helper column with this formula copied down the column:

    =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
