hello all. i have a column of numbers that all have the letters GAT in front of them. I want to drop the GAT. when I do the leading zeros also drop. I have tried formatting but no matter what I do a GAT0110 becomes 110. Any help appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Is this a formula question for result in a different column or a VBA question to change the existing values? Or something else?

Hi. Actually all I'm doing is using the replace in the Home/Find and Select then then Replace GAT. It does that but also drops the leading zeros which are part of a part number

Then you can replace GAT with ' instead of replacing it with nothing.
