How to removed the first three char and last char in XLS
 

One way is to use a helper column with a formula in it:

=MID(A1,4,LEN(A1)-4)

Starts in column 4 and takes all the characters (except the last and the first
3)

If they all start with 10 and finish with dashes (and those strings don't
appear in the portion to keep), you could do:

Edit|Replace
what: 10
with: (leave empty)
replace all

and
edit|replace
what: -
with: (leave empty)
replace all
