Default Delete 4 to 5 digits from left in a cell

If : only occurs once per cell, select the column, do datatext to columns,
select delimited and click next, select other and put : in the other box,
click next, select the left column in the data preview (should be black)
which is the default, then select do not import (skip) and click finish
