Please help, I need to remove first character that is the same on all rows, but the length is different for each line, so I can't use right or left functions.

Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Why can't you use RIGHT or LEFT?

=RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-1)

Hi Pypcik27

Instead of formulas you could also use Data>Text to columns. It's easier and avoids the auxilliary column.

Kind regards
