number. Pls advise.

=right(A1,len(A1)-1)

That results in text. If you want a number, then:

=value(right(...))

If you have a single letter then take the substring beginning at the 2nd
character of the part No. (say in cell A1)

=MID(A1,2,256)

tnks for the help but i don't get the formula for the valve cos after input

=valve(right(A1,len(A1)-1))

I got #NAME? is there anything that I miss out?

sorry I make a mistake on the wording "value" and had got it right.
However if my cell Ai is P0012 (double zero), it will only show as 12.
How can I keep the zero's?

Either leave it as text, or format the cell as 0000
