Default Need to remove text in specific place

I need to remove the text in the left most part of the cell up to and
including the point that includes a space.

For example the cell reads: 51253 Axle Housing

I want the 51253 and the space go away.

Thanks

Assumptions: 1 There is always at least 1 space, and 2 You always want to
remove the text up to and including the first space only.

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))

Hope this helps.

Try this (assume A1 is the cell with the data)

=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,255)
