Default Formula for shifting of words

Hi

I am using Excel 2003.

I want the formula that allows me to shift all the words in a cell 1 spacing
to the left as I have some cells with a spacing before the 1st word.

Thank you.

Default Formula for shifting of words

If you have your words in Col A starting at A1 then enter this in B1
=MID(A1,2,LEN(A1))
and copy the formula down as required...
This will remove the first character from the words in Col A

If you want to remove the first character only if it is space then use
=IF(LEFT(A1)=" ",MID(A1,2,LEN(A1)),A1)
