Default Delete first few cell characters

Hi
Try
Assuming data is in column A
=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,255)
Copy down as far as required.
Copy block of results and Paste SpecialValues to "fix" as opposed to
leaving as formulae

I have values in a column where the cell values are like the following.
I
would like to delete the first few characters until a G is reached.
For e.g.
I would like :
PRJ GB2-E0001
WBS GB2-E0001
to be converted to:
GB2-E0001
GB2-E0001

I would be grateful if you could provide me the code to do just this.

Many Thanks,
