Column T has Serial Numbers of varying lengths all beginning with the letter S like examples below:
S4Y90765YA
SMY45F2B02R


I need to remove the letter S and leave the balance of the cell like examples below. Please help.

4Y90765YA
MY45F2B02R
 

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"
If you litterally just want to remove the first character...

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

Hope that helps..
