Default Help with what I believe is a simple excel formula!!!!!!!

First if you have anything in the column to the right that you want to keep -
insert a new column. Then highlight only the data that you want to change
and click on the tool bar "Data" and use "text to columns" mark the "fixed
width" box - next button. on the data Preview screen left click and more the
line to the spot you want and click on next - then finish. That's it! -
delete the column that has the excess digits and you are done. Don't you
just love Excel???

Into this:

6001349
6041179
