Default I need to remove characters ...

I have a column of data that I wish to remove the first 2 characters from.
Is there a way to quickly do this? Below is the sample data.

Thank you,

Rick

You could insert a column and use this formula in that cloumn and drag it
down then copy and paste values.

=VALUE(MID(A1,2,8))
