Try this:

=Left(A1,5)
And copy down as needed.

OR
=--Left(A1,5)
To make the values true numbers.

OR
Select the column of numbers, then, from the Menu Bar,
<Data <Text To Columns
Click on "Fixed Width", then <Next

Move the "Break Lines" to where you need them,
Then <Finish.

I have 9 numeric characters in a cell and I need to get rid of the last 4.
How can I do that. There are too many cells to manually delete.
