    Removing a beginning letter in a group of cells

    I have a large column of cells that contains item #'s that all begin with the letter V. I need to remove the letter V from all cells so that only the number is left. Any help on how to do this with a formula?

    Find and replace
    Ctrl+F & Ctrl+P

    Find "V" & replace leave it empty .
    If not update a sample workbook without any confidential data .

    That will work unless "V" occurs again in the cell, eg V12345V2

    Alternatively use a Helper column

    =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)
    and copy down

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
