    Try

    =RIGHT(A1,6)

    Or select the entire column, and go to Data - then use Text to Columns.

    From there, select Delimited, and then manually select the spot you want to chop off the numbers. When you click finish, it will automatically split the data in the column in the spot you selected.

    Re: formula for partial column

    I see no reason why the suggestion in post #2 wont work, did you try it?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
