Default Find & Replace

I have a list of phone numbers that start with the number 9 then 1. After
the 1, you have the typical area code and number. Assuming I can use the
Find and Replace feature, how do I find and remove the number 9 and 1 from
the number sequence? I know how to use the replace command when substituting
a value with a new value but not earasing or deleting a part of a string. Any
help would be appreciated. Thank You, JAD

Default Find & Replace

If all the numbers begin with "91", you could use something like this.

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-2)

HTH,
Paul
