You can do this without a formula.

Select the range of cells in question
Goto DataText to Columns
Select Fixed widthNext
Set the breakline after the 0:

'0 | 14564

Click Next
In Step 3 of the wizard select Do not import
Click Finish

If you do want a formula:

=--MID(A1,3,255)

Hi

I have a series of numbers in each row with an apostrophe in the front.
How
do i create a formula that can take out the apostrophe, so the zero in the
front of the number disappear leaving only numbers.

ex: '014564 -- 14564
'077454 -- 77454
'023457 -- 23457
'077875 -- 77875
