![]()
I assume that the source is text and NOT numeric with the leading zero
present due to the number format being "00000000". Either of the following:- 'This code first converts to numeric value then the TRIM function will return the result as text. ActiveCell.Formula = "=TRIM(VALUE(B1))" 'This code simply returns all after the first character. Result is text. ActiveCell.Formula = "=MID(B1,2,255)" NOTE: You cannot use these formulas in the same cell as the source. If you want to replace the source then you need to do it differently.. To replace the source values without the leading zeros, then assuming the the values in column B are text, you can first format the column to general or number (no decimal places) and then insert the numeral 1 in any blank cell. Copy the cell with 1 and then select all the data in column B and Paste Special - Multiply. -- Regards, OssieMac "Steved" wrote: Hello from Steved In Col B:B I'm asking to be removed the leading "0" ie 07075601 to be 7075601 Thankyou.

Can you post a sample of the source data and a sample of the result that the formula should return. -- Regards, OssieMac "Steved" wrote: Hello from Steved I should know but I'm not thinking to clearly. I am getting a Compile error, Syntax error for the below why I thankyou. Sub Removezero() ActiveCell.FormulaR2C3 = "=MID(B2,1+(LEFT(B2)="0"),99)" End Sub |
