Default LEFT function

I have a list of extension numbers - some begin with 1 - I wish to have a
column that shows "Ignore" against the numbers beginning with 1.

I thought the following formula would work:

=IF(LEFT(A1,1)=1,"Ignore",A1)

It looks like excel does not recognise the result from LEFT(A1,1)as 1 ?

Thanks

Andrew
