    Removing leading numbers, letters, full stop, and space

    I have data in the following format that I would like to truncate to the following:

    '12. Departure' becomes 'Departure'
    ' a. Takeoff' becomes 'Takeoff'
    etc.

    Basically, I want the new data to start with the character that follows the full-stop and space.

    Thank you!

    Try

    =TRIM(MID(A1,FIND(". ",A1)+2,255))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
