I have a column of which each cell has a 3 letter prefex followed by 4 numbers.

How can I delete the prefex and leave the 4 four numbers, the whole column at one time?

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
If your codes start in A1 then in B1 enter

=RIGHT(A1,4)


and copy the formula down.
