Default Remove first few digits from all cells in the column

Sorry, only one delimiter per customer.... and if you use dot, it leaves
a space in front of the name. My bad.

You could use Text to columns, with ". " (that's dot space)as a
delimiter, and not select the left side to convert.

I believe this has something to do with function LEFT or RIGHT in
Excel. Specifically, I want to take out the first two digits and a
space (the numbers) in all cells of the column, making it names only.
So, "1. Vince Higgs" would become "Vince Higgs" and "2. Joe Blow"
would become "Joe Blow"
I have no experience with macros and little with functions, but have
been experiementing with simple functions like TODAY.

Thank you.
