Default Format that Omits Characters

That will solve your problem, won't it?

To the best of my knowledge and belief, I don't think it is possible.

However I have learnt not to say 'never'...

I will be happy to learn a new trick if someone provides a solution.

I need a format that omits all of the characters before a hyphen (-) and one
after it.
example;
001- ABC displayed as ABC

I can easily do this with a formula but I need to do it in a format.
