Default Check for Alpha characters

Hi!

It would help if you posted a larger representative sample of you data.

Are all the entries 6 characters? Do all the entries contain BOTH alpha AND
numeric characters? Are there any entires that are ALL numeric?

I would like to check if the first three characters are alpha, if so,
remove them. The alpha characters will be any combination.

EX.

BEFORE - ABC123
RESULT - 123

The alpha will not be the same or I would use:
=IF(LEFT(A1,3)="ABC",RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-3))

Thanks in advance for ANY assistance.
