Default Removing Leading Spaces

I am trying to create a formula to remove the leading space and 0 from a
series of numbers imported into Excel from a Purchase Order. I have tried
using the trim function, but it didn't work. I could easily correct with the
replace function, but I want a formula that I can use repeatedly (some of the
POs can be quite large) to quickly clear the import error.

example:
I import:
01827245
02445313

I need:
1827245
2445313
