This is how the numbers appear: 12345678901 (1+area code+number)
I would like to take out the number "1" entirely and have it be just the
area code and the number. Spaces are irrelevant, they can be there or not.
Thank you so much for the help, any tips you can give are greatly appreciated!

Let's start with the basics: give us some examples of the phone numbers as
they're currently displayed (those with the 1 and those without) and also
give examples of how you want them to appear. I've seen phone numbers dealt
with time and time again in these forums and there's almost zero doubt in my
mind that there is a solution to your problem.

I am having some difficulty formatting the cells for phone numbers. Here's
the issue: I have a predictive dialer and the information I am using came
with a 1 at the beginning of some of the numbers that isn't compatable with
the system. I've tried the formatting suggestions in the help section of
excel, but it really isn't giving me a way to format all the cells in that
column to remove the 1 and just have the 10 digit number. Any help would be
greatly appreciated, or just an absolute that it can't be done so I can quit
trying... Thanks so much!!!
