WOW!!!!! You are all awesome! Thanks for responding so quickly. Am going
with the =MID formula.....is the easiest, but keeping the other 2 for
reference also cause you never when they might come in handy. I'm just
constantly amazed at the brain power out there! Have a good weekend....

Thanks!

It's both an array and volatile but, as Bernie mentioned in his reply, after
you get everything processed you can always CopyPaste SpecialValues to
convert to constants.

Try this array formula** :

=MID(A1,MATCH(TRUE,MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1 ))),1)<"0",0),255)

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

I have data formatted as text, with leading zeroes, such as 00AF234,
014F,
etc. Is there a way to remove these leading zeroes (other than VB)?
The
data could be of any length and have 0, 1, 2 or more leading zeroes.
Can't
do find/replace because other zeroes (like in the middle of the data)
would
also be removed. Nothing I've tried seems to work, short of sorting by
length, then doing =right. Any ideas please?
