Default trimming cell contents?

Hi

I have a column of cells each containing a 4 digit number. Is there any way
I can trim the left digit dependant upon certain conditions.

If the left digit of each 4 digit number equals either "1" or "2" I want to
trim this away. If the original 4 digit number ends in anything other than
"1" or "2" I want to leave the original 4 digit number unaltered.

For example:

1231 would become 123
1232 would become 123
1234 would stay as 1234

Any help on this is really appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Jem
