Default can I delete the 1st number from a string of numbers

can I delete the 1st number from a string of numbers without adding another
column for the formula?

Maybe...

But what's wrong with using another column of formulas?

How about using a formula in a help column, then paste the formula result as
values over the old values and finally delete the help column. Otherwise it
requires code

Assuming B2 is the Cell of string numbers


=MID(B2,2,LEN(B2)-1)

It doesn't delete the 1st number but just gives you the other numbers
without the 1st number.
