I have text like follows:
FTH-15-01-M34185265
SLPB-2M-B34185265
WIT-30RRA-12-M34184748
KLB-750A-RT34185265

I need to remove all of the characters before the 34. Any help would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Assuming your data starts in A1, try this in B1 and copy down:

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("34",A1)+1)

Try:
Code:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("34",A1)+1)

NB if you use -1 after FIND, it will return only the characters after 34.

If you use +1 it will return 34 and all characters after it.
