Default Check for Alpha characters

Since you didn't give a whole lot of information, try this for the info you
did give:

=IF(ISERR(--LEFT(A1,3)),RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-3),A1)

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.
