How to delete first two characters in a Column

N

NWILL

How would I go about deleting the first 2 characters of a string in a
particulear column. For instance I have a column that has data such as
ab123, cd456, ef789 I want the output to be 123, 456, 789. Would this be a
forumula? I dont know excel well at all and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Easiest would probably be to select the column and hit Data-->Text to
columns, and used Fixed Width. Make sure you've got enough blank columns to
the right of your data before you begin.
